A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
1 ipsi David
Benedic anima mea Domino
et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto eius
2 benedic anima mea Domino
et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones eius
3 qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis
qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas
4 qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam
qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus
5 qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum
renovabitur ut aquilae iuventus tua
6 faciens misericordias Dominus
et iudicium omnibus iniuriam patientibus
7 notas fecit vias suas Mosi filiis Israhel voluntates suas
8 miserator et misericors Dominus longanimis et multum misericors
9 non in perpetuum irascetur
neque in aeternum comminabitur
10 non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis
nec secundum iniustitias nostras
retribuit nobis
11 quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra
corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se
12 quantum distat ortus ab occidente
longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras
13 quomodo miseretur pater filiorum
misertus est Dominus timentibus se
14 quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum
recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus
15 homo sicut faenum dies eius
tamquam flos agri sic efflorebit
16 quoniam spiritus pertransivit in illo et non subsistet
et non cognoscet amplius locum suum
17 misericordia autem Domini ab aeterno
et usque in aeternum super timentes eum
et iustitia illius in filios filiorum
18 his qui servant testamentum eius
et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea
19 Dominus in caelo paravit sedem suam
et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur
20 benedicite Domino angeli eius
potentes virtute facientes verbum illius
ad audiendam vocem sermonum eius
21 benedicite Domino omnes virtutes eius
ministri eius qui facitis voluntatem eius
22 benedicite Domino omnia opera eius
in omni loco dominationis ipsius
benedic anima mea Domino
