1In finem, pro occultis filii. Psalmus David.
1Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.
2[Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo; narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
2I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
3Lætabor et exsultabo in te; psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
3I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
4In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum; infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
4When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
5Quoniam fecisti judicium meum et causam meam; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.
5For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
6Increpasti gentes, et periit impius: nomen eorum delesti in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.
6Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
7Inimici defecerunt frameæ in finem, et civitates eorum destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu;
7The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
8et Dominus in æternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,
8But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
9et ipse judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate: judicabit populos in justitia.
9And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
10Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
10And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
11Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quærentes te, Domine.
11And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
12Psallite Domino qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia ejus:
12Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
13quoniam requirens sanguinem eorum recordatus est; non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
13For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
14Miserere mei, Domine: vide humilitatem meam de inimicis meis,
14Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
15qui exaltas me de portis mortis, ut annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiæ Sion:
15Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
16exultabo in salutari tuo. Infixæ sunt gentes in interitu quem fecerunt; in laqueo isto quem absconderunt comprehensus est pes eorum.
16I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
17Cognoscetur Dominus judicia faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
17The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
18Convertantur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes quæ obliviscuntur Deum.
18The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
19Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis; patientia pauperum non peribit in finem.
19For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
20Exsurge, Domine; non confortetur homo: judicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.
20Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
21Constitue, Domine, legislatorem super eos, ut sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.
21Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
22Ut quid, Domine, recessisti longe; despicis in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione?
22Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
23Dum superbit impius, incenditur pauper: comprehenduntur in consiliis quibus cogitant.
23Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
24Quoniam laudatur peccator in desideriis animæ suæ, et iniquus benedicitur.
24For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
25Exacerbavit Dominum peccator: secundum multitudinem iræ suæ, non quæret.
25The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
26Non est Deus in conspectu ejus; inquinatæ sunt viæ illius in omni tempore. Auferuntur judicia tua a facie ejus; omnium inimicorum suorum dominabitur.
26God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
27Dixit enim in corde suo: Non movebor a generatione in generationem, sine malo.
27For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
28Cujus maledictione os plenum est, et amaritudine, et dolo; sub lingua ejus labor et dolor.
28His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
29Sedet in insidiis cum divitibus in occultis, ut interficiat innocentem.
29He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
30Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; insidiatur in abscondito, quasi leo in spelunca sua. Insidiatur ut rapiat pauperem; rapere pauperem dum attrahit eum.
30His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
31In laqueo suo humiliabit eum; inclinabit se, et cadet cum dominatus fuerit pauperum.
31In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
32Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblitus est Deus; avertit faciem suam, ne videat in finem.
32For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
33Exsurge, Domine Deus, exaltetur manus tua; ne obliviscaris pauperum.
33Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
34Propter quid irritavit impius Deum? dixit enim in corde suo: Non requiret.
34Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
35Vides, quoniam tu laborem et dolorem consideras, ut tradas eos in manus tuas. Tibi derelictus est pauper; orphano tu eris adjutor.
35Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
36Contere brachium peccatoris et maligni; quæretur peccatum illius, et non invenietur.
36Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
37Dominus regnabit in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; peribitis, gentes, de terra illius.
37The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
38Desiderium pauperum exaudivit Dominus; præparationem cordis eorum audivit auris tua:
38The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
39judicare pupillo et humili, ut non apponat ultra magnificare se homo super terram.]
39To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
