Liber Psalmorum

In finem. Psalmus David.

Unto the end, a psalm for David.

In fine. Psalmo Davide.

Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.

Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

Exaudi, Deo, oratione meo cum depreca; ab timore de inimico eripe anima meo.

Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.

Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

De protexisto me ab conventu maligna, ab multitudine operor iniquitate.

Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,

For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

Quia exacesca ut gladio linguas suo; intende arcu re amaro,

ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.

To shoot in secret the undefiled.

Ut sagitta in occulto immacula.

Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos; dixerunt: Quis videbit eos?

They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

Subito sagitta illo, et non time; firma ad se sermone nequissimo. Narra ut absconde laqueos; dic: qui vide illos?

Scrutati sunt iniquitates; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,

They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

Scrutor es iniquitates; defice scrutor scrutinio. Homine accede ad corde altissimo,

et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,

And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

Et Deo exalta. De sagitta parvulo fac es plagas de illos,

et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,

And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

Et infirma es contra illos linguas de illos. Conturba es omni qui vide illos,

et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.

And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God, and understood his doings.

Et omni homine time. Et annuntia operes de Deo, et facto de illo intellege.

Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.

The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

Iusto laetor in Domino, et spera in eo, et omni lauda rectus corde.
