Douai-Rheims Ave Maria
1 Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:1 Salmo de Davi. Senhor, eu vos chamo, vinde logo em meu socorro; escutai a minha voz quando vos invoco.
2 thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.2 Que minha oração suba até vós como a fumaça do incenso, que minhas mãos estendidas para vós sejam como a oferenda da tarde.
3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.3 Ponde, Senhor, uma guarda em minha boca, uma sentinela à porta de meus lábios.
4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.4 Não deixeis meu coração inclinar-se ao mal, para impiamente cometer alguma ação criminosa. Não permitais que eu tome parte nos festins dos homens que praticam o mal.
5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.5 Se o justo me bate é um favor, se me repreende é como perfume em minha fronte. Minha cabeça não o rejeitará; porém, sob seus golpes, apenas rezarei.
6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.6 Seus chefes foram precipitados pelas encostas do rochedo, e ouviram quão brandas eram as minhas palavras.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?7 Como a terra fendida e sulcada pelo arado, assim seus ossos se dispersam à beira da região dos mortos.
8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.8 Pois é para vós, Senhor, que se voltam os meus olhos; eu me refugio junto de vós, não me deixeis perecer.
9 If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:9 Guardai-me do laço que me armaram, e das ciladas dos que praticam o mal.
10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.10 Caiam os ímpios, de uma vez, nas próprias malhas; quanto a mim, que eu escape são e salvo.
11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20 Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
