Psalmus ipsi David.
Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me: nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

A psalm for David himself.
Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

(Of David.)
To thee, my Lord, my refuge, I cry aloud, do not leave my cry unanswered; listen to me, or I am no better than a dead man, sinking to the grave.

Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.

Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple.

Listen Lord, to my plea as I call upon thee, as I raise my hands in prayer towards thy holy temple.

Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus, et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me; qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.

Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.

Do not summon me, with the wicked, before thy judgement-seat; with men who traffic in iniquity, men who talk of peace to their neighbours, while their hearts are full of malice.

Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis; redde retributionem eorum ipsis.

Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward.

For them, the reward of their own acts, their own evil ways; as they did, be it done to them, in their own coin repaid.

Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.

Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

Of the Lord’s acts, the Lord’s ways, they took no heed; ruin be theirs, ruin irreparable.

Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.

Blessed be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my supplication.

Blessed be the Lord’s name, my plea is heard;

Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus; in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum: et refloruit caro mea, et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.

The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.

the Lord is my strength and shield. Trusting in him, I found redress; there is triumph in my heart, on my lips the song of praise.

Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.

The Lord defends his own people, protects the king he has anointed.

Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.

Save, O Lord, thy people, and bless thy inheritance: and rule them and exalt them for ever.

Lord, save thy people, bless thy own chosen race; be their shepherd, evermore in thy arms upholding them.
