Psalms 7

Douai-Rheims	Nova Vulgata
¹ The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16.]	¹ Lamentatio David, quam cantavit Domino propter Chus Beniaminitam.
² O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.	² Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me,
³ Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.	³ ne quando rapiat ut leo animam meam discerpens, dum non est qui salvum faciat.
⁴ O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:	⁴ Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,
⁵ If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.	⁵ si reddidi retribuenti mihi mala et exspoliavi inimicum meum dimittens inanem,
⁶ 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.	⁶ persequatur inimicus animam meam et comprehendat et conculcet in terra vitam meam et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.
⁷ 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:	⁷ Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua et exaltare contra indignationem inimicorum meorum et exsurge, Deus meus, in iudicio, quod mandasti.
⁸ and a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.	⁸ Et synagoga populorum circumdabit te, et super hanc in altum regredere:
⁹ The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.	⁹ Dominus iudicat populos. Iudica me, Domine, secundum iustitiam meam et secundum innocentiam meam, quae est in me.
¹⁰ The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.	¹⁰ Consumatur nequitia peccatorum; et iustum confirma: scrutans corda et renes Deus iustus.
¹¹ Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.	¹¹ Adiutorium meum apud Deum, qui salvos facit rectos corde.
¹² God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?	¹² Deus iudex iustus, fortis, irascens per singulos dies.
¹³ Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.	¹³ Nonne iterum gladium suum exacuit, arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum?
¹⁴ And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.	¹⁴ Et paravit sibi vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentes effecit.
¹⁵ Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.	¹⁵ Ecce parturiit iniustitiam, concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem;
¹⁶ He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.	¹⁶ lacum aperuit et effodit eum et incidit in foveam, quam fecit.
¹⁷ His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.	¹⁷ Convertetur dolor eius in caput eius, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet.
¹⁸ I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.	¹⁸ Confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius et psallam nomini Domini Altissimi.
