Psalms 40

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.	1 Magistro chori. David. Psalmus.
2 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.	2 Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
3 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.	3 Et exaudivit clamorem meum et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis; et statuit super petram pedes meos et firmavit gressus meos.
4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear : and they shall hope in the Lord.	4 Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi et timebunt et sperabunt in Domino.
5 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.	5 Beatus vir, qui posuit Dominum spem suam et non respexit superbos et declinantes in mendacium.
6 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God : and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.	6 Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua, et cogitationes tuas pro nobis: non est qui similis sit tibi. Si nuntiare et eloqui voluero, multiplicabuntur super numerum.
7 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require :	7 Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti, aures autem fodisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti,
8 then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me	8 tunc dixi: “ Ecce venio. In volumine libri scriptum est de me.
9 that I should do thy will : O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.	9 Facere voluntatem tuam, Deus meus, volui; et lex tua in praecordiis meis ”.
10 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips : O Lord, thou knowest it.	10 Annuntiavi iustitiam tuam in ecclesia magna; ecce labia mea non prohibebo, Domine, tu scisti.
11 I have not hid thy justice within my heart : I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.	11 Iustitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo, veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi. Non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam ab ecclesia magna.
12 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me : thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.	12 Tu autem, Domine, ne prohibeas miserationes tuas a me; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper suscipiant me,
13 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head : and my heart hath forsaken me.	13 quoniam circumdederunt me mala, quorum non est numerus; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meae, et non potui videre. Multiplicatae sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me.
14 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.	14 Complaceat tibi, Domine, ut eruas me; Domine, ad adiuvandum me festina.
15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.	15 Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quaerunt animam meam, ut auferant eam. Avertantur retrorsum et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala.
16 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me : 'T is well, 't is well.	16 Obstupescant propter confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi: “ Euge, euge ”.
17 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say always : The Lord be magnified.	17 Exsultent et laetentur in te omnes quaerentes te; et dicant semper: “ Magnificetur Dominus ”, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
18 But I am a beggar and poor : the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector : O my God, be not slack.	18 Ego autem egenus et pauper sum; Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adiutor meus et liberator meus tu es; Deus meus, ne tardaveris.
