Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
1 psalmus David quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi filii Iemini
2 Domine Deus meus in te speravi
salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me
3 nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam
dum non est qui redimat neque qui salvum faciat
4 Domine Deus meus si feci istud si est iniquitas in manibus meis
5 si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala
decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis
6 persequatur inimicus animam meam et conprehendat
et conculcet in terra vitam meam
et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat diapsalma
7 exsurge Domine in ira tua
exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum
et exsurge Domine Deus meus in praecepto quod mandasti
8 et synagoga populorum circumdabit te
et propter hanc in altum regredere
9 Dominus iudicat populos
iudica me Domine secundum iustitiam meam
et secundum innocentiam meam super me
10 consummetur nequitia peccatorum
et diriges iustum et scrutans corda et renes Deus
11 iustum adiutorium meum a Deo
qui salvos facit rectos corde
12 Deus iudex iustus et fortis et patiens
numquid irascitur per singulos dies
13 nisi conversi fueritis gladium suum vibrabit
arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum
14 et in eo paravit vasa mortis sagittas suas ardentibus effecit
15 ecce parturiit iniustitiam
※et: concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem
16 lacum aperuit et effodit eum
et incidet in foveam quam fecit
17 convertetur dolor eius in caput eius
et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet
18 confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius
et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
