" My heart has uttered a good word. I speak of my works to the king. My tongue is like the pen of a scribe who writes quickly. "
— Psalms 44:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.”
“Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad. ”
“You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.”
“You, by your power, defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land; you crushed the people living there and enabled our ancestors to occupy it.”
“My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king: My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly.”
“Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.”
“How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.”
Unto the end. For those who will be changed. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding. A Canticle for the Beloved.
My heart has uttered a good word. I speak of my works to the king. My tongue is like the pen of a scribe who writes quickly.
You are a brilliant form before the sons of men. Grace has been poured freely into your lips. Because of this, God has blessed you in eternity.
Fasten your sword to your thigh, O most powerful one.
With your splendor and your excellence extended, proceed prosperously, and reign for the sake of truth and meekness and justice, and so will your right hand lead you wondrously.
