1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David.
1In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus David.
2Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
2[Nonne Deo subjecta erit anima mea? ab ipso enim salutare meum.
3For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
3Nam et ipse Deus meus et salutaris meus; susceptor meus, non movebor amplius.
4How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
4Quousque irruitis in hominem? interficitis universi vos, tamquam parieti inclinato et maceriæ depulsæ.
5But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
5Verumtamen pretium meum cogitaverunt repellere; cucurri in siti: ore suo benedicebant, et corde suo maledicebant.
6But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
6Verumtamen Deo subjecta esto, anima mea, quoniam ab ipso patientia mea:
7For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
7quia ipse Deus meus et salvator meus, adjutor meus, non emigrabo.
8In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
8In Deo salutare meum et gloria mea; Deus auxilii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
9Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
9Sperate in eo, omnis congregatio populi; effundite coram illo corda vestra: Deus adjutor noster in æternum.
10But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
10Verumtamen vani filii hominum, mendaces filii hominum in stateris, ut decipiant ipsi de vanitate in idipsum.
11Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
11Nolite sperare in iniquitate, et rapinas nolite concupiscere; divitiæ si affluant, nolite cor apponere.
12God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
12Semel locutus est Deus; duo hæc audivi: quia potestas Dei est,
13And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
13et tibi, Domine, misericordia: quia tu reddes unicuique juxta opera sua.]
