1 Psalmus in confessione.

A psalm of praise.

2 Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; servite Domino in lætitia. Introite in conspectu ejus in exsultatione.

Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.

3 Scitote quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus; ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos; populus ejus, et oves pascuæ ejus.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Introite portas ejus in confessione, atria ejus in hymnis; confitemini illi. Laudate nomen ejus,

Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

5 quoniam suavis est Dominus; in æternum misericordia ejus, et usque in generationem et generationem veritas ejus.

For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

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.
