Michtam of David.
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul , thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
1 oratio David
audi Deus iustum intende deprecationem meam
auribus percipe orationem meam absque labiis mendacii
2 de vultu tuo iudicium meum prodeat
oculi tui videant aequitates
3 probasti cor meum visitasti nocte
conflasti me et non invenisti
4 cogitationes meas transire os meum
in opere hominum
propter verbum labiorum tuorum ego observavi vias latronis
5 sustenta gressus meos in callibus tuis
et non labentur vestigia mea
6 ego invocavi te quia exaudies me Deus
inclina aurem tuam mihi audi eloquium meum
7 mirabilem fac misericordiam tuam salvator sperantium
8 a resistentibus dexterae tuae
custodi me quasi pupillam intus in oculo
in umbra alarum tuarum protege me
9 a facie impiorum vastantium me
inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt
10 adipe suo concluserunt et ore locuti sunt superbe
11 incedentes adversum me nunc circumdederunt me
oculos suos posuerunt declinare in terram
12 similitudo eius quasi leonis desiderantis praedam
et quasi catuli leonis sedentis in absconditis
13 surge Domine praeveni faciem eius incurva eum
salva animam meam ab impio qui est gladius tuus
14 a viris manus tuae Domine qui mortui sunt in profundo
quorum pars in vita
et quorum de absconditis tuis replesti ventrem
qui satiabuntur filiis
et dimittent reliquias suas parvulis eorum
15 ego in iustitia videbo faciem tuam
implebor cum evigilavero similitudine tua
