1Canticum Psalmi, filiis Core, in finem, pro Maheleth ad respondendum. Intellectus Eman Ezrahitæ.
1A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite.
2[Domine, Deus salutis meæ, in die clamavi et nocte coram te.
2O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
3Intret in conspectu tuo oratio mea, inclina aurem tuam ad precem meam.
3Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
4Quia repleta est malis anima mea, et vita mea inferno appropinquavit.
4For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
5Æstimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum, factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio,
5I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
6inter mortuos liber; sicut vulnerati dormientes in sepulchris, quorum non es memor amplius, et ipsi de manu tua repulsi sunt.
6Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
7Posuerunt me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis, et in umbra mortis.
7They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
8Super me confirmatus est furor tuus, et omnes fluctus tuos induxisti super me.
8Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
9Longe fecisti notos meos a me; posuerunt me abominationem sibi. Traditus sum, et non egrediebar;
9Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
10oculi mei languerunt præ inopia. Clamavi ad te, Domine, tota die; expandi ad te manus meas.
10My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
11Numquid mortuis facies mirabilia? aut medici suscitabunt, et confitebuntur tibi?
11Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
12Numquid narrabit aliquis in sepulchro misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam in perditione?
12Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
13Numquid cognoscentur in tenebris mirabilia tua? et justitia tua in terra oblivionis?
13Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
14Et ego ad te, Domine, clamavi, et mane oratio mea præveniet te.
14But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
15Ut quid, Domine, repellis orationem meam; avertis faciem tuam a me?
15Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?
16Pauper sum ego, et in laboribus a juventute mea; exaltatus autem, humiliatus sum et conturbatus.
16I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
17In me transierunt iræ tuæ, et terrores tui conturbaverunt me:
17Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
18circumdederunt me sicut aqua tota die; circumdederunt me simul.
18They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
19Elongasti a me amicum et proximum, et notos meos a miseria.]
19Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
