Liber Psalmorum

Psalmus ipsi David. Noli æmulari in malignantibus, neque zelaveris facientes iniquitatem:

Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.

Psalmo ipso Davide. Ne vol aemulor in maligna, neque zela fac iniquitate:

quoniam tamquam fœnum velociter arescent, et quemadmodum olera herbarum cito decident.

For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.

Quia sicut foeno velociter aresce, et quemadmodum holeres de herbas cito decide.

Spera in Domino, et fac bonitatem; et inhabita terram, et pasceris in divitiis ejus.

Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.

Spera in Domino, et fac bonitate; et inhabe terra, et pasce in divitias de illo.

Delectare in Domino, et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui.

Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.

Delecta in Domino, et i da ad te petitiones de corde tuo.

Revela Domino viam tuam, et spera in eo, et ipse faciet.

Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.

Revela ad Domino via tuo, et spera in eo, et ipso i fac.

Et educet quasi lumen justitiam tuam, et judicium tuum tamquam meridiem.

And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Et educe quasi lumine iustitia tuo, et iudicio tuo sicut meridie.

Subditus esto Domino, et ora eum. Noli æmulari in eo qui prosperatur in via sua; in homine faciente injustitias.

Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.

Subdito es ad Domino, et ores illo. Ne vol aemulor in eo qui prospera in via suo; in homine fac iniustitias.

Desine ab ira, et derelinque furorem; noli æmulari ut maligneris.

Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.

Desina ab ira, et et derelin furore; ne vol aemulor ut maliga.

Quoniam qui malignantur exterminabuntur; sustinentes autem Dominum, ipsi hæreditabunt terram.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

Quia qui maligna extermina; sustine autem Domino, ipso haeredita terra.

Et adhuc pusillum, et non erit peccator; et quæres locum ejus, et non invenies.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.

Et adhuc pusillo, et non es peccatore; et quaere loco de illo, et non inveni.

Mansueti autem hæreditabunt terram, et delectabuntur in multitudine pacis.

But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.

Mansueto autem haeredita terra, et delecta in multitudine de pace.

Observabit peccator justum, et stridebit super eum dentibus suis.

The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.

Peccatore iusto observa, et stride super illo dentes suo.

Dominus autem irridebit eum, quoniam prospicit quod veniet dies ejus.

But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.

Domino autem irride illo, quia quod veni die de illo prospice.

Gladium evaginaverunt peccatores; intenderunt arcum suum: ut dejiciant pauperem et inopem, ut trucident rectos corde.

The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.

Peccatores evagina gladio; intende arcu suo: ut deiice paupere et inope, ut trucide rectus corde.

Gladius eorum intret in corda ipsorum, et arcus eorum confringatur.

Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.

Gladio de illos intra in cordes ipso, et arcu de illos confringe.

Melius est modicum justo, super divitias peccatorum multas:

Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.

Melius es modico iusto, super divitias de peccatos multo:

quoniam brachia peccatorum conterentur: confirmat autem justos Dominus.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.

Quia brachios de peccatos contere: Domino autem confirma iusto.

Novit Dominus dies immaculatorum, et hæreditas eorum in æternum erit.

The Lord knoweth the days of the undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

Domino nosce dies de immaculatos, et haereditate de illos in aeterno es.

Non confundentur in tempore malo, et in diebus famis saturabuntur:

They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:

Non confunde in tempore malo, et in dies de fama satura:

quia peccatores peribunt. Inimici vero Domini mox ut honorificati fuerint et exaltati, deficientes quemadmodum fumus deficient.

Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.

Quia peccatores peri. Inimicos vero de Domino mox ut honorifica es et exalta, defice quemadmodum fumo defice.

Mutuabitur peccator, et non solvet; justus autem miseretur et tribuet:

The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.

Peccatore mutuo, et non solve; iusto autem misereor et tribue:

quia benedicentes ei hæreditabunt terram; maledicentes autem ei disperibunt.

For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.

Quia benedic ad illo haeredita terra; maledice autem ad illo dispera.

Apud Dominum gressus hominis dirigentur, et viam ejus volet.

With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.

When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.

Tota die miseretur et commodat; et semen illius in benedictione erit.

He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.

Toto die misereor et commoda; et semine de illo in benedictione es.

Declina a malo, et fac bonum, et inhabita in sæculum sæculi:

Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.

Declina ab malo, et fac bono, et inhabe in saeculo de saeculo:

quia Dominus amat judicium, et non derelinquet sanctos suos: in æternum conservabuntur. Injusti punientur, et semen impiorum peribit.

For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.

Quia Domino ama iudicio, et non derelinque sancto suo: in aeterno conserva. Iniustis punie, et semine impio peri.

Justi autem hæreditabunt terram, et inhabitabunt in sæculum sæculi super eam.

But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.

Iusto autem haeredita terra, et inhabita in saeculo de saeculo super illa.

Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, et lingua ejus loquetur judicium.

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.

The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,

Dominus autem non derelinquet eum in manibus ejus, nec damnabit eum cum judicabitur illi.

But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.

Domino autem non derelinque illo in manus de illo, nec damna illo cum iudica ad illo.

Exspecta Dominum, et custodi viam ejus, et exaltabit te ut hæreditate capias terram: cum perierint peccatores, videbis.

Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.

Expecta Domino, et custode via de illo, et exalta te ut haereditate cape terra: cum peccatores peri, vide.

Vidi impium superexaltatum, et elevatum sicut cedros Libani:

I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.

Vide impio superexalta, et eleva sicut cedros de Libano:

et transivi, et ecce non erat; et quæsivi eum, et non est inventus locus ejus.

And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.

And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them because they have hoped in him.

Et Domino adiuva illos, et libera illos; et erue illos ab peccatores, et salva illos, quia spera in eo.
