1Laus cantici David. [Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei cæli commorabitur.
1BOOK IV A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum; Deus meus, sperabo in eum.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.
3Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.
3Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'
4Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi, et sub pennis ejus sperabis.
4For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5Scuto circumdabit te veritas ejus: non timebis a timore nocturno;
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6a sagitta volante in die, a negotio perambulante in tenebris, ab incursu, et dæmonio meridiano.
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis; ad te autem non appropinquabit.
7For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.
8Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis, et retributionem peccatorum videbis.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
9Quoniam tu es, Domine, spes mea; Altissimum posuisti refugium tuum.
9For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.
10Non accedet ad te malum, et flagellum non appropinquabit tabernaculo tuo.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.
11Quoniam angelis suis mandavit de te, ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.
11Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?
12In manibus portabunt te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis, et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
13Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.
14Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum; protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
14O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15Clamabit ad me, et ego exaudiam eum; cum ipso sum in tribulatione: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Longitudine dierum replebo eum, et ostendam illi salutare meum.]
16Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.
