1. Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself.
2. May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
3. Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
4. And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.
5. Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,
6. the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.
7. It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.
8. O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,
9. the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.
10. You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
