Tenebrae of Good Friday concludes with Psalm 147, which celebrates our salvation.
The antiphon once again gives us the words of the good thief on the Cross: remember me Lord, when you come into your kingdom, but the main message of the psalm is that winter is over and the thaw is finally here. The way to heaven was barred: but God is working to reopen the way.
We should take up the invitation he offers, and give thanks for the great gift he has given us.
Psalm 147 – Lauda Jerusalem
Vulgate
|
Douay-Rheims
|
Lauda,
Jerúsalem, Dóminum: * lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
|
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise your God, O Sion.
|
2 Quóniam
confortávit seras portárum tuárum: * benedíxit fíliis tuis in te.
|
Because he has
strengthened the bolts of your gates, he has blessed your children
within you
|
3 Qui
pósuit fines tuos pacem: * et ádipe fruménti sátiat te.
|
Who has placed
peace in your borders: and fills you with the fat of corn.
|
4 Qui
emíttit elóquium suum terræ: * velóciter currit sermo ejus.
|
Who sends forth
his speech to the earth: his word runs swiftly.
|
5 Qui
dat nivem sicut lanam: * nébulam sicut cínerem spargit.
|
Who gives snow
like wool: scatters mists like ashes.
|
6 Mittit
crystállum suam sicut buccéllas: * ante fáciem frígoris ejus quis sustinébit?
|
He sends his
crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
|
7 Emíttet
verbum suum, et liquefáciet ea: * flabit spíritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
|
He shall send
out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall
run.
|
8 Qui
annúntiat verbum suum Jacob: * justítias, et judícia sua Israël.
|
Who declares
his word to Jacob:
his justices and his judgments to Israel
|
9 Non
fecit táliter omni natióni: * et judícia sua non manifestávit eis.
|
He has not done
in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he has not made manifest to
them. Alleluia.
