World English Bible
1In finem. Intellectus filiis Core.
1Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
2[Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
2The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
3Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum; quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei?
3The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
4Fuerunt mihi lacrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
4I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5Hæc recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.
5My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
6Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei,
6If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
7et Deus meus. Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est: propterea memor ero tui de terra Jordanis et Hermoniim a monte modico.
7All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
8Abyssus abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum; omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
8“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
9In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam, et nocte canticum ejus; apud me oratio Deo vitæ meæ.
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
10Dicam Deo: Susceptor meus es; quare oblitus es mei? et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
10But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11Dum confringuntur ossa mea, exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei, dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus?
11By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
12Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.]
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
