1In finem, pro susceptione matutina. Psalmus David.
1Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
2[Deus, Deus meus, respice in me: quare me dereliquisti? longe a salute mea verba delictorum meorum.
2O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
3Deus meus, clamabo per diem, et non exaudies; et nocte, et non ad insipientiam mihi.
3O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
4Tu autem in sancto habitas, laus Israël.
4But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
5In te speraverunt patres nostri; speraverunt, et liberasti eos.
5In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
6Ad te clamaverunt, et salvi facti sunt; in te speraverunt, et non sunt confusi.
6They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
7Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo; opprobrium hominum, et abjectio plebis.
7But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
8Omnes videntes me deriserunt me; locuti sunt labiis, et moverunt caput.
8All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
9Speravit in Domino, eripiat eum: salvum faciat eum, quoniam vult eum.
9He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
10Quoniam tu es qui extraxisti me de ventre, spes mea ab uberibus matris meæ.
10For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
11In te projectus sum ex utero; de ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu:
11I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,
12ne discesseris a me, quoniam tribulatio proxima est, quoniam non est qui adjuvet.
12Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
13Circumdederunt me vituli multi; tauri pingues obsederunt me.
13Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
14Aperuerunt super me os suum, sicut leo rapiens et rugiens.
14They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
15Sicut aqua effusus sum, et dispersa sunt omnia ossa mea: factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.
15I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
16Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhæsit faucibus meis: et in pulverem mortis deduxisti me.
16My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
17Quoniam circumdederunt me canes multi; concilium malignantium obsedit me. Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos;
17For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
18dinumeraverunt omnia ossa mea. Ipsi vero consideraverunt et inspexerunt me.
18They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
19Diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.
19They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
20Tu autem, Domine, ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me; ad defensionem meam conspice.
20But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
21Erue a framea, Deus, animam meam, et de manu canis unicam meam.
21Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
22Salva me ex ore leonis, et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.
22Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
23Narrabo nomen tuum fratribus meis; in medio ecclesiæ laudabo te.
23I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
24Qui timetis Dominum, laudate eum; universum semen Jacob, glorificate eum.
24Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
25Timeat eum omne semen Israël, quoniam non sprevit, neque despexit deprecationem pauperis, nec avertit faciem suam a me: et cum clamarem ad eum, exaudivit me.
25Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
26Apud te laus mea in ecclesia magna; vota mea reddam in conspectu timentium eum.
26With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
27Edent pauperes, et saturabuntur, et laudabunt Dominum qui requirunt eum: vivent corda eorum in sæculum sæculi.
27The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
28Reminiscentur et convertentur ad Dominum universi fines terræ; et adorabunt in conspectu ejus universæ familiæ gentium:
28All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
29quoniam Domini est regnum, et ipse dominabitur gentium.
29For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
30Manducaverunt et adoraverunt omnes pingues terræ; in conspectu ejus cadent omnes qui descendunt in terram.
30All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
31Et anima mea illi vivet; et semen meum serviet ipsi.
31And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.
32Annuntiabitur Domino generatio ventura; et annuntiabunt cæli justitiam ejus populo qui nascetur, quem fecit Dominus.]
32There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
