NEW JERUSALEMVULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Of David In a quiet voice When Saul sent men to watchDavid's house in order to have him killed] Rescue me from my enemies, my God, be my stronghold from myassailants,1 In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,
2 rescue me from evil-doers, from men of violence save me.2 cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.
3 Look at them, lurking to ambush me, violent men are attacking me, for no fault, no sin of mine,Yahweh,3 Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos ;
iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
4 for no guilt, they come running to take up position. Wake up, stand by me and keep watch,4 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam ;
sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
5 Yahweh, God of Sabaoth, God of Israel, rise up, to punish al the nations, show no mercy to all thesemalicious traitors.Pause5 Ostendisti populo tuo dura ;
potasti nos vino compunctionis.
6 Back they come at nightfall, snarling like curs, prowling through the town.6 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem,
ut fugiant a facie arcus ;
ut liberentur dilecti tui.
7 Look how they rant in speech with swords on their lips, 'Who is there to hear us?'7 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
8 For your part, Yahweh, you laugh at them, you make mockery of all nations.8 Deus locutus est in sancto suo :
lætabor, et partibor Sichimam ;
et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
9 My strength, I keep my eyes fixed on you. For my stronghold is God,9 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses ;
et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei.
Juda rex meus ;
10 the God who loves me faithfully is coming to meet me, God will let me feast my eyes on those who liein wait for me.10 Moab olla spei meæ.
In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum :
mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
11 Do not annihilate them, or my people may forget; shake them in your power, bring them low, Lord,our shield.11 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam ?
quis deducet me usque in Idumæam ?
12 Sin is in their mouths, sin on their lips, so let them be trapped in their pride for the curses and lies thatthey utter.12 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos ?
et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris ?
13 Destroy them in your anger, destroy them til they are no more, and let it be known that God is Masterin Jacob and the whole wide world.Pause13 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione,
quia vana salus hominis.
14 Back they come at nightfal , snarling like curs, prowling through the town,14 In Deo faciemus virtutem ;
et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
15 scavenging for something to eat, growling unless they have their fil .
16 And so I wil sing of your strength, in the morning acclaim your faithful love; you have been astronghold for me, a refuge when I was in trouble.
17 My strength, I wil make music for you, for my stronghold is God, the God who loves me faithful y.
