He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a
merciful and gracious Lord: he hath given food to them that
fear him.

Memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui; *virtutem operum suorum
annuntiabit populo suo.
He will be mindful for ever of his covenant: he will shew forth
to his people the power of his works.
Ut det illis hæreditatem gentium: *opera manuum ejus veritas et
judicium.

works of his hands are truth and judgment.

in veritate et equitate.

made in truth and equity.
Redemptionem misit populo suo: *mandavit in æternum testamentum
suum.
He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his
covenant for ever.

Holy and terrible is his name: the fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom.

Potens in terra erit semen ejus: *generatio rectorum benedicetur.

Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus: *et justitia ejus manet in
sæculum sæculi.

remaineth for ever and ever.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: *misericors, et miserator
et justus.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness; he is
merciful, and compassionate and just.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat: disponet sermones suos
in judicio: *quia in æternum non commovebitur.
Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth; he shall
order his words with judgment; because he shall not be moved
for ever.
In memoria æterna erit justus: *ab auditione mala non timebit.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear
the evil hearing.
Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino, confirmatum est cor ejus:
*non commovebitur, donec despiciat inimicos suos.
His heart is ready to hope in the Lord: his heart is
strengthened, he shall not be moved, until he look over his
enemies.
Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: justitia ejus manet in sæculum
sæculi: *cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice
remaineth for ever and ever, his horn shall be exalted in
glory.
