1 canticum David cum esset in deserto Iuda
2 Deus fortitudo mea tu es de luce consurgam ad te
sitivit te anima mea desideravit te caro mea
3 in terra invia et conficiente ac sine aqua
sic in sancto apparui tibi
ut videam fortitudinem tuam et gloriam tuam
4 melior est enim misericordia tua quam vitae
labia mea laudabunt te
5 sic benedicam tibi in vita mea
in nomine tuo levabo manus meas
6 quasi adipe et pinguidine implebitur anima mea
et labiis laudantibus canet os meum
7 recordans tui in cubili meo per singulas vigilias meditabor tibi
8 quia fuisti auxilium meum
in umbra alarum tuarum laudabo
9 adhesit anima mea post te
me suscepit dextera tua
10 ipsi vero interficere quaerunt animam meam
ingrediantur in extrema terrae
11 congregentur in manus gladii pars vulpium erunt
12 rex autem laetabitur in Deo
laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo
quia obstruetur os loquentium mendacium
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them .
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
