1To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.
1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
6Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
7Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
7But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
8Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
8Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
9All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
10Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
11Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
