| [1]Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum. |
[1]A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy righteousness. |
| [2]Misericordia mea et refugium meum, susceptor meus et liberator meus; protector meus, et in ipso speravi; qui subdit populum meum sub me. |
[2]And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee. |
| [3]Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum? |
[3]For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old. |
| [4]Homo vanitati similis factus est; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt. |
[4]And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate. |
| [5]Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende; tange montes, et fumigabunt. |
[5]I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse. |
| [6]Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos. |
[6]I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. Selah. |
| [7]Emitte manum tuam de alto: eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum: |
[7]Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit. |
| [8]quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis. |
[8]Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul. |
| [9]Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi. |
[9]Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered. |
| [10]Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno, |
[10]Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God -- Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness. |
| [11]eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis. |
[11]For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul, |
| [12]Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua; filiæ eorum compositæ, circumornatæ ut similitudo templi. |
[12]And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant! |
| [13]Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud; oves eorum fœtosæ, abundantes in egressibus suis; |
13[No verse] |
| [14]boves eorum crassæ. Non est ruina maceriæ, neque transitus, neque clamor in plateis eorum. |
14[No verse] |
| [15]Beatum dixerunt populum cui hæc sunt; beatus populus cujus Dominus Deus ejus. |
