VUL Clementine Vulgate
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo.
1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.
3 Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem, tortam panis, et partem assæ carnis bubalæ, et frixam oleo similam.
3 He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum ejus, et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israël:
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:
5 Asaph principem, et secundum ejus Zachariam: porro Jahiel, et Semiramoth, et Jehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Jehiel super organa psalterii et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret:
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 Banaiam vero et Jaziel sacerdotes canere tuba jugiter coram arca fœderis Domini.
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres ejus:
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to Yahweh by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 [Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus: notas facite in populis adinventiones ejus.
8 Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
9 Cantate ei, et psallite ei, et narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
10 Laudate nomen sanctum ejus: lætetur cor quærentium Dominum.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
11 Quærite Dominum, et virtutem ejus: quærite faciem ejus semper.

12 Recordamini mirabilium ejus quæ fecit; signorum illius, et judiciorum oris ejus,

13 semen Israël servi ejus, filii Jacob electi ejus.

16 quem pepigit cum Abraham, et juramenti illius cum Isaac.

17 Et constituit illud Jacob in præceptum, et Israël in pactum sempiternum,
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ:
18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni ejus.
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 Cantate Domino omnis terra; annuntiate ex die in diem salutare ejus:

25 Quia magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et horribilis super omnes deos.

26 Omnes enim dii populorum idola: Dominus autem cælos fecit.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
27 Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco ejus.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Afferte Domino, familiæ populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
29 Date Domino gloriam; nomini ejus levate sacrificium, et venite in conspectu ejus: et adorate Dominum in decore sancto.
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
30 Commoveatur a facie ejus omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 Lætentur cæli, et exultet terra, et dicant in nationibus: Dominus regnavit.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”
32 Tonet mare et plenitudo ejus; exultent agri, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino: quia venit judicare terram.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus.
34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35 Et dicite: Salva nos, Deus salvator noster, et congrega nos, et erue de gentibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et exultemus in carminibus tuis.
35 Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
36 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, ab æterno usque in æternum.] Et dicat omnis populo: Amen, et hymnum Domino.
36 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
37 Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca fœderis Domini Asaph et fratres ejus, ut ministrarent in conspectu arcæ jugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
38 Porro Obededom, et fratres ejus sexaginta octo: et Obededom filium Idithun, et Hosa, constituit janitores;
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Sadoc autem sacerdotem, et fratres ejus sacerdotes, coram tabernaculo Domini in excelso quod erat in Gabaon,
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis jugiter, mane et vespere, juxta omnia quæ scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam præcepit Israëli.
40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
41 Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;
42 Heman quoque et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Deo: filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
43 Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suæ.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
