Before the first verse

*Unto the end.* After the canticle of the resurrection, the Prophet subjoins his own entreaty, that the blessed may be led to the knowledge of God. He prophesies the blessing of all through the coming of Christ. Because in the preceding psalm he had admonished us to bless God, which we cannot do unless he first bless us; therefore he prays for this, to be blessed, saying: *May God have mercy on us and bless us,* etc.

1Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.
2May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
3That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.
4Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.
5Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
6Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:
7The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,
8May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
