1Ipsi David intellectus. [Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
1(31-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (31-2) In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Thy righteousness.
2Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
2(31-3) Incline Thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily; be Thou to me a rock of refuge, even a fortress of defence, to save me.
3Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
3(31-4) For Thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for Thy name's sake lead me and guide me.
4Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.
4(31-5) Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; for Thou art my stronghold.
5Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
5(31-6) Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, Thou God of truth.
6Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
6(31-7) I hate them that regard lying vanities; but I trust in the LORD.
7Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
7(31-8) I will be glad and rejoice in Thy lovingkindness; for Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast taken cognizance of the troubles of my soul,
8Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.
8(31-9) And Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a broad place.
9Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
9(31-10) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I am in distress; mine eye wasteth away with vexation, yea, my soul and my body.
10Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
10(31-11) For my life is spent in sorrow, and my years in sighing; my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.
11Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.]
11(31-12) Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a dread to mine acquaintance; they that see me without flee from me.
