Liber Psalmorum

Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.

The psalm of David, which he sung to the Lord, for the words of Chusi, the son of Jemini.

Psalmo Davide, quem canta ad Domino pro verbos Chuso, de filio de Iemino.

Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me:

O Lord, my God, in thee have I put my trust; save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

Domino Deo meo, in te spera; salva me fac ex omni perseque me, et libro me:

nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.

Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

Nequando rape ut leone anima meo, dum non es qui redime, neque qui salva que fac.

Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,

O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:

Domino Deo meo, si fac isto, si iniquitate es in manus meo,

si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.

If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

Si redde retribue ad me malo, decide meritum ab inimicos meo inane.

Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life, on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

Inimico perseque anima meo, et comprehende; et conculca in terra vita meo, et gloria meo in pulvere deduce.

Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum: et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in præcepto quod mandasti,

Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:

Ex(s)urga, Domino, in ira tuo, et exalta in fines de inimicos meo: et ex(s)urga, Domino Deo meo, in praecepto quod manda,

et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere:

And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

Et synagoga de populos circumda te: et propter hoc in altissimo regredior:

Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.

The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

Domino iudica populos. Iudica me, Domino, secundo iustitia meo, et secundo innocentia meo super me.

Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought; and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. Just

Nequitia de peccatos consume, et dirige iusto, scrutor cordes et renes, Deo.

Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.

Is my help from the Lord; who saveth the upright of heart.

Iusto adiutorio meo ab Domino, qui salva fac rectus corde.

Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies?

God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

Deo iudice iusto, forti, et pate; numquid irasce per singulo dies?

Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.

Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

Nisi converte es, gladio suo vibra; arcu suo tete, et para illo.

Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.

And in it he hath prepared to instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.

Et in eo para vases de morte, sagittates suo arde efficie.

Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.

Behold he hath been in labour with injustice: he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.

Ecce parturie iniustitia; concipe dolore, et pare iniquitate.

Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.

He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made.

Lacu aperi, et effodie illo; et incide in fovea quam fac.

Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.

His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.

Dolore de illo converte in capite de illo, et in vertice de ipso iniquitate de illo descende.

Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

Confite ad Domino secundo iustitia de illo, et psalle ad nomine de Domino altissimo.
