1A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.
1Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato.
2Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
2[Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:
3For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
3quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
4There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
4Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie iræ tuæ; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum:
5For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
5quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.
6My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
6Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.
7I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
7Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
8For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
8Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
9I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
9Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
10Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
10Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
11My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
11Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
12My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
12Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam.
13And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
13Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.
14But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
14Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
15And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
15Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
16For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
16Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
17For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
17Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
18For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
18Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
19For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.
19Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
20But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
21They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
21Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
22Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.
22Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.
23Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
23Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.]
