1 in finem pro his qui commutabuntur filiis Core ad intellectum canticum pro dilecto
2 Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum dico ego opera mea regi
lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis
3 speciosus forma prae filiis hominum
diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis
propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum
4 accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum potentissime
5 specie tua et pulchritudine tua
et intende prospere procede et regna
propter veritatem et mansuetudinem et iustitiam
et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua
6 sagittae tuae acutae populi sub te cadent
in corde inimicorum regis
7 sedis tua Deus in saeculum saeculi
virga directionis virga regni tui
8 dilexisti iustitiam et odisti iniquitatem
propterea unxit te Deus Deus tuus
oleo laetitiae prae consortibus tuis
9 murra et gutta et cassia a vestimentis tuis
a domibus eburneis ex quibus delectaverunt te
10 filiae regum in honore tuo
adstitit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate
11 audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam
et obliviscere populum tuum et domum patris tui
12 et concupiscet rex decorem tuum
quoniam ipse est dominus tuus et adorabunt
eum
13 ※et: filiae Tyri in muneribus
vultum tuum deprecabuntur divites plebis
14 omnis gloria eius filiae regis ab intus
in fimbriis aureis
15 circumamicta varietatibus
adducentur regi virgines post eam
proximae eius adferentur tibi
16 adferentur in laetitia et exultatione
adducentur in templum regis
17 pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii
constitues eos principes super omnem terram
18 memor ero nominis tui
in omni generatione et generatione
propterea populi confitebuntur tibi
in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
