Psalmus - caput 147

1 Alleluja. Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.

2 Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum, benedixit filiis tuis in te.

3 Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.

4 Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ, velociter currit sermo ejus.

5 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam, nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.

6 Mittit crystallum suum sicut buccellas: ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit?

7 Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.

8 Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Isræl.

9 Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.

About Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was to become the Catholic Church's officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible during the 16th century, and is still used fundamentally in the Latin Church to this day.

The translation was largely the work of Jerome, who in 382 had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina ("Old Latin") Gospels then in use by the Roman Church. Jerome, on his own initiative, extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible and once published, the new version became widely adopted and over succeeding centuries eventually eclipsed the Vetus Latina, so that by the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the appellation of versio vulgata (the "version commonly used") or vulgata for short.

The Catholic Church affirmed the Vulgate as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), though there was no authoritative edition at that time. The Clementine edition of the Vulgate of 1592 became the standard Bible text of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and remained so until 1979 when the Nova Vulgata was promulgated.
