1 victori filiorum Core canticum
2 audite hoc omnes populi
auribus percipite universi habitatores occidentis
3 tam filii Adam quam filii
singulorum
simul dives et pauper
4 os meum loquitur sapientias
et meditatio cordis mei prudentias
5 inclino ad parabulam aurem meam
aperiam in cithara enigma meum
6 quare timebo in diebus mali
iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me
7 qui fiduciam habent in fortitudine sua
et in multitudine divitiarum suarum superbiunt
8 fratrem redimens non redimet vir
nec dabit Deo propitiationem pro eo
9 neque pretium redemptionis animae eorum
sed quiescet in saeculo
10 et vivet ultra in sempiternum
11 et non videbit interitum cum viderit sapientes morientes
simul insipiens et indoctus peribunt
et derelinquent alienis divitias suas
12 interiora sua domus suas in saeculo
tabernacula sua in generatione et generatione
vocaverunt nominibus suis terras suas
13 et homo in honore non commorabitur
adsimilatus est iumentis et
exaequatus est
14 haec est via insipientiae eorum
et post eos iuxta os eorum current semper
15 quasi grex in inferno positi sunt mors pascet eos
et subicient eos recti in matutino
et figura eorum conteretur in inferno post habitaculum suum
16 verumtamen Deus redimet animam meam
de manu inferi cum adsumpserit me semper
17 noli timere cum ditatus fuerit vir
cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus eius
18 neque enim moriens tollet omnia
nec descendet post eum gloria eius
19 quia animae suae in vita sua benedicet
laudabunt inquient te cum benefeceris tibi
20 intrabit usque ad generationes patrum suorum
usque ad finem non videbunt lucem
21 homo cum in honore esset non intellexit
conparavit se iumentis et silebitur
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
