1 David
benedictus Dominus fortis meus
qui docet manus meas ad proelium digitos meos ad bellum
2 misericordia mea et fortitudo mea auxiliator meus et salvator meus
scutum meum et in ipso speravi qui subiecit populos mihi
3 Domine quid est homo quia cognoscis eum
filius hominis quia conputas eum
4 homo vanitati adsimilatus est dies eius quasi umbra pertransiens
5 Domine inclina caelos tuos et descende
tange montes et fumigabunt
6 mica fulmine et dissipa eos
mitte sagittam tuam et interfice illos
7 extende manum tuam de excelso
libera me et erue me de aquis multis
de manu filiorum alienorum
8 quorum os locutum est vanitatem
et dextera eorum dextera mendacii
9 Deus canticum novum cantabo tibi
in psalterio decacordo psallam tibi
10 qui dat salutem regibus
qui eruit David servum suum de gladio pessimo
11 libera me et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum
quorum os locutum est vanitatem
et dextera eorum dextera mendacii
12 ut sint filii nostri quasi plantatio crescens in adulescentia sua
filiae nostrae quasi anguli ornati ad similitudinem templi
13 promptuaria nostra plena et supereffundentia ex hoc in illud
pecora nostra in milibus et innumerabilia in conpitis nostris
14 tauri nostri pingues
non est interruptio et non est egressus
et non est ululatus in plateis nostris
15 beatus populus cuius talia sunt
beatus populus cuius Dominus Deus suus
A Psalm of David.
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
