Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
1Alleluja. [ Aleph Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.
2Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus; in toto corde exquirunt eum.
3For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.
3Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis ejus ambulaverunt.
4Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.
4Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis.
5O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.
5Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ ad custodiendas justificationes tuas.
6Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.
6Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis.
7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.
7Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici judicia justitiæ tuæ.
8I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.
8Justificationes tuas custodiam; non me derelinquas usquequaque.
9BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.
9Beth In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos.
10With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
10In toto corde meo exquisivi te; ne repellas me a mandatis tuis.
11Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.
11In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi.
12Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.
12Benedictus es, Domine; doce me justificationes tuas.
13With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.
13In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia judicia oris tui.
14I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.
14In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum, sicut in omnibus divitiis.
15I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.
15In mandatis tuis exercebor, et considerabo vias tuas.
16I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.
16In justificationibus tuis meditabor: non obliviscar sermones tuos.
17GIMEL. Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.
17Ghimel Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me, et custodiam sermones tuos.
18Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
18Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua.
19I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
19Incola ego sum in terra: non abscondas a me mandata tua.
20My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.
20Concupivit anima mea desiderare justificationes tuas in omni tempore.
21Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
21Increpasti superbos; maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis.
22Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
22Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia testimonia tua exquisivi.
23For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
23Etenim sederunt principes, et adversum me loquebantur; servus autem tuus exercebatur in justificationibus tuis.
24For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.
24Nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est, et consilium meum justificationes tuæ.
25DALETH. My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.
25Daleth Adhæsit pavimento anima mea: vivifica me secundum verbum tuum.
26I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications.
26Vias meas enuntiavi, et exaudisti me; doce me justificationes tuas.
27Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.
27Viam justificationum tuarum instrue me, et exercebor in mirabilibus tuis.
28My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.
28Dormitavit anima mea præ tædio: confirma me in verbis tuis.
29Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.
29Viam iniquitatis amove a me, et de lege tua miserere mei.
30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.
30Viam veritatis elegi; judicia tua non sum oblitus.
31I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.
31Adhæsi testimoniis tuis, Domine; noli me confundere.
32I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.
32Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri, cum dilatasti cor meum.
33HE. Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.
33He Legem pone mihi, Domine, viam justificationum tuarum, et exquiram eam semper.
34Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.
34Da mihi intellectum, et scrutabor legem tuam, et custodiam illam in toto corde meo.
35Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.
35Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum, quia ipsam volui.
36Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
36Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua, et non in avaritiam.
37Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.
37Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem; in via tua vivifica me.
38Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.
38Statue servo tuo eloquium tuum in timore tuo.
39Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.
39Amputa opprobrium meum quod suspicatus sum, quia judicia tua jucunda.
40Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.
40Ecce concupivi mandata tua: in æquitate tua vivifica me.
41VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.
41Vau Et veniat super me misericordia tua, Domine; salutare tuum secundum eloquium tuum.
42So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.
42Et respondebo exprobrantibus mihi verbum, quia speravi in sermonibus tuis.
43And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.
43Et ne auferas de ore meo verbum veritatis usquequaque, quia in judiciis tuis supersperavi.
44So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.
44Et custodiam legem tuam semper, in sæculum et in sæculum sæculi.
45And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.
45Et ambulabam in latitudine, quia mandata tua exquisivi.
46And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.
46Et loquebar in testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum, et non confundebar.
47I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.
47Et meditabar in mandatis tuis, quæ dilexi.
48And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.
48Et levavi manus meas ad mandata tua, quæ dilexi, et exercebar in justificationibus tuis.
49ZAIN. Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.
49Zain Memor esto verbi tui servo tuo, in quo mihi spem dedisti.
50This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.
50Hæc me consolata est in humilitate mea, quia eloquium tuum vivificavit me.
51The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.
51Superbi inique agebant usquequaque; a lege autem tua non declinavi.
52I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.
52Memor fui judiciorum tuorum a sæculo, Domine, et consolatus sum.
53A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
53Defectio tenuit me, pro peccatoribus derelinquentibus legem tuam.
54Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.
54Cantabiles mihi erant justificationes tuæ in loco peregrinationis meæ.
55In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.
55Memor fui nocte nominis tui, Domine, et custodivi legem tuam.
56This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.
56Hæc facta est mihi, quia justificationes tuas exquisivi.
57HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.
57Heth Portio mea, Domine, dixi custodire legem tuam.
58I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.
58Deprecatus sum faciem tuam in toto corde meo; miserere mei secundum eloquium tuum.
59I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
59Cogitavi vias meas, et converti pedes meos in testimonia tua.
60I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.
60Paratus sum, et non sum turbatus, ut custodiam mandata tua.
61The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
61Funes peccatorum circumplexi sunt me, et legem tuam non sum oblitus.
62I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.
62Media nocte surgebam ad confitendum tibi, super judicia justificationis tuæ.
63I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.
63Particeps ego sum omnium timentium te, et custodientium mandata tua.
64The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.
64Misericordia tua, Domine, plena est terra; justificationes tuas doce me.
65TETH. Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
65Teth Bonitatem fecisti cum servo tuo, Domine, secundum verbum tuum.
66Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.
66Bonitatem, et disciplinam, et scientiam doce me, quia mandatis tuis credidi.
67Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.
67Priusquam humiliarer ego deliqui: propterea eloquium tuum custodivi.
68Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.
68Bonus es tu, et in bonitate tua doce me justificationes tuas.
69The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.
69Multiplicata est super me iniquitas superborum; ego autem in toto corde meo scrutabor mandata tua.
70Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.
70Coagulatum est sicut lac cor eorum; ego vero legem tuam meditatus sum.
71It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.
71Bonum mihi quia humiliasti me, ut discam justificationes tuas.
72The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.
72Bonum mihi lex oris tui, super millia auri et argenti.
73JOD. Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.
73Jod Manus tuæ fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me: da mihi intellectum, et discam mandata tua.
74They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.
74Qui timent te videbunt me et lætabuntur, quia in verba tua supersperavi.
75I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
75Cognovi, Domine, quia æquitas judicia tua, et in veritate tua humiliasti me.
76O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
76Fiat misericordia tua ut consoletur me, secundum eloquium tuum servo tuo.
77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.
77Veniant mihi miserationes tuæ, et vivam, quia lex tua meditatio mea est.
78Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.
78Confundantur superbi, quia injuste iniquitatem fecerunt in me; ego autem exercebor in mandatis tuis.
79Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies.
79Convertantur mihi timentes te, et qui noverunt testimonia tua.
80Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.
80Fiat cor meum immaculatum in justificationibus tuis, ut non confundar.
81CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.
81Caph Defecit in salutare tuum anima mea, et in verbum tuum supersperavi.
82My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
82Defecerunt oculi mei in eloquium tuum, dicentes: Quando consolaberis me?
83For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.
83Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruina; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
84How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
84Quot sunt dies servi tui? quando facies de persequentibus me judicium?
85The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.
85Narraverunt mihi iniqui fabulationes, sed non ut lex tua.
86All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
86Omnia mandata tua veritas: inique persecuti sunt me, adjuva me.
87They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
87Paulominus consummaverunt me in terra; ego autem non dereliqui mandata tua.
88Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
88Secundum misericordiam tuam vivifica me, et custodiam testimonia oris tui.
89LAMED. For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
89Lamed In æternum, Domine, verbum tuum permanet in cælo.
90Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
90In generationem et generationem veritas tua; fundasti terram, et permanet.
91By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.
91Ordinatione tua perseverat dies, quoniam omnia serviunt tibi.
92Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
92Nisi quod lex tua meditatio mea est, tunc forte periissem in humilitate mea.
93Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.
93In æternum non obliviscar justificationes tuas, quia in ipsis vivificasti me.
94I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.
94Tuus sum ego; salvum me fac: quoniam justificationes tuas exquisivi.
95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.
95Me exspectaverunt peccatores ut perderent me; testimonia tua intellexi.
96I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.
96Omnis consummationis vidi finem, latum mandatum tuum nimis.
97MEM. O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
97Mem Quomodo dilexi legem tuam, Domine ! tota die meditatio mea est.
98Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
98Super inimicos meos prudentem me fecisti mandato tuo, quia in æternum mihi est.
99I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.
99Super omnes docentes me intellexi, quia testimonia tua meditatio mea est.
100I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
100Super senes intellexi, quia mandata tua quæsivi.
101I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
101Ab omni via mala prohibui pedes meos, ut custodiam verba tua.
102I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
102A judiciis tuis non declinavi, quia tu legem posuisti mihi.
103How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
103Quam dulcia faucibus meis eloquia tua ! super mel ori meo.
104By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.
104A mandatis tuis intellexi; propterea odivi omnem viam iniquitatis.
105NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
105Nun Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum, et lumen semitis meis.
106I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.
106Juravi et statui custodire judicia justitiæ tuæ.
107I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.
107Humiliatus sum usquequaque, Domine; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum.
108The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
108Voluntaria oris mei beneplacita fac, Domine, et judicia tua doce me.
109My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.
109Anima mea in manibus meis semper, et legem tuam non sum oblitus.
110Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.
110Posuerunt peccatores laqueum mihi, et de mandatis tuis non erravi.
111I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.
111Hæreditate acquisivi testimonia tua in æternum, quia exsultatio cordis mei sunt.
112I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.
112Inclinavi cor meum ad faciendas justificationes tuas in æternum, propter retributionem.
113SAMECH. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.
113Samech Iniquos odio habui, et legem tuam dilexi.
114Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.
114Adjutor et susceptor meus es tu, et in verbum tuum supersperavi.
115Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.
115Declinate a me, maligni, et scrutabor mandata Dei mei.
116Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.
116Suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum, et vivam, et non confundas me ab exspectatione mea.
117Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.
117Adjuva me, et salvus ero, et meditabor in justificationibus tuis semper.
118Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.
118Sprevisti omnes discedentes a judiciis tuis, quia injusta cogitatio eorum.
119I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.
119Prævaricantes reputavi omnes peccatores terræ; ideo dilexi testimonia tua.
120Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.
120Confige timore tuo carnes meas; a judiciis enim tuis timui.
121AIN. I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.
121Ain Feci judicium et justitiam: non tradas me calumniantibus me.
122Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.
122Suscipe servum tuum in bonum: non calumnientur me superbi.
123My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.
123Oculi mei defecerunt in salutare tuum, et in eloquium justitiæ tuæ.
124Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.
124Fac cum servo tuo secundum misericordiam tuam, et justificationes tuas doce me.
125I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.
125Servus tuus sum ego: da mihi intellectum, ut sciam testimonia tua.
126It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.
126Tempus faciendi, Domine: dissipaverunt legem tuam.
127Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.
127Ideo dilexi mandata tua super aurum et topazion.
128Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.
128Propterea ad omnia mandata tua dirigebar; omnem viam iniquam odio habui.
129PHE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.
129Phe Mirabilia testimonia tua: ideo scrutata est ea anima mea.
130The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.
130Declaratio sermonum tuorum illuminat, et intellectum dat parvulis.
131I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.
131Os meum aperui, et attraxi spiritum: quia mandata tua desiderabam.
132Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name.
132Aspice in me, et miserere mei, secundum judicium diligentium nomen tuum.
133Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
133Gressus meos dirige secundum eloquium tuum, et non dominetur mei omnis injustitia.
134Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.
134Redime me a calumniis hominum ut custodiam mandata tua.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.
135Faciem tuam illumina super servum tuum, et doce me justificationes tuas.
136My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.
136Exitus aquarum deduxerunt oculi mei, quia non custodierunt legem tuam.
137SADE. Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.
137Sade Justus es, Domine, et rectum judicium tuum.
138Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly.
138Mandasti justitiam testimonia tua, et veritatem tuam nimis.
139My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.
139Tabescere me fecit zelus meus, quia obliti sunt verba tua inimici mei.
140Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.
140Ignitum eloquium tuum vehementer, et servus tuus dilexit illud.
141I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications.
141Adolescentulus sum ego et contemptus; justificationes tuas non sum oblitus.
142Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.
142Justitia tua, justitia in æternum, et lex tua veritas.
143Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.
143Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me; mandata tua meditatio mea est.
144Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
144Æquitas testimonia tua in æternum: intellectum da mihi, et vivam.
145COPH. I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
145Coph Clamavi in toto corde meo: exaudi me, Domine; justificationes tuas requiram.
146I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
146Clamavi ad te; salvum me fac: ut custodiam mandata tua.
147I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
147Præveni in maturitate, et clamavi: quia in verba tua supersperavi.
148My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
148Prævenerunt oculi mei ad te diluculo, ut meditarer eloquia tua.
149Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy.
149Vocem meam audi secundum misericordiam tuam, Domine, et secundum judicium tuum vivifica me.
150They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law.
150Appropinquaverunt persequentes me iniquitati: a lege autem tua longe facti sunt.
151Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.
151Prope es tu, Domine, et omnes viæ tuæ veritas.
152I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.
152Initio cognovi de testimoniis tuis, quia in æternum fundasti ea.
153RES. See my humiliation and deliver me: for I have not forgotten the law.
153Res Vide humilitatem meam, et eripe me, quia legem tuam non sum oblitus.
154Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word’s sake.
154Judica judicium meum, et redime me: propter eloquium tuum vivifica me.
155Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.
155Longe a peccatoribus salus, quia justificationes tuas non exquisierunt.
156Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment.
156Misericordiæ tuæ multæ, Domine; secundum judicium tuum vivifica me.
157Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.
157Multi qui persequuntur me, et tribulant me; a testimoniis tuis non declinavi.
158I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word.
158Vidi prævaricantes et tabescebam, quia eloquia tua non custodierunt.
159Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.
159Vide quoniam mandata tua dilexi, Domine: in misericordia tua vivifica me.
160The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.
160Principium verborum tuorum veritas; in æternum omnia judicia justitiæ tuæ.
161SIN. Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.
161Sin Principes persecuti sunt me gratis, et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum.
162I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil.
162Lætabor ego super eloquia tua, sicut qui invenit spolia multa.
163I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.
163Iniquitatem odio habui, et abominatus sum, legem autem tuam dilexi.
164Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.
164Septies in die laudem dixi tibi, super judicia justitiæ tuæ.
165Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block.
165Pax multa diligentibus legem tuam, et non est illis scandalum.
166I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.
166Exspectabam salutare tuum, Domine, et mandata tua dilexi.
167My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and hath loved them exceedingly.
167Custodivit anima mea testimonia tua, et dilexit ea vehementer.
168I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.
168Servavi mandata tua et testimonia tua, quia omnes viæ meæ in conspectu tuo.
169TAU. Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word.
169Tau Appropinquet deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, Domine; juxta eloquium tuum da mihi intellectum.
170Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word.
170Intret postulatio mea in conspectu tuo; secundum eloquium tuum eripe me.
