1In finem. Psalmus David.
1Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2[In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?
2In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:
3For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?
4In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.
5He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
6He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.]
8He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
