Psalms 26

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?	1 Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea : quem timebo ? Dominus protector vitæ meæ : a quo trepidabo ?
2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.	2 Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.	3 Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum ; si exsurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.	4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ ; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.	5 Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo ; in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.	6 In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.	7 Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te ; miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.	8 Tibi dixit cor meum : Exquisivit te facies mea ; faciem tuam, Domine, requiram.
9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.	9 Ne avertas faciem tuam a me ; ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adjutor meus esto ; ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus.
10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.	10 Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me ; Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.	11 Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua, et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos.
12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.	12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me, quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.	13 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.	14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age : et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
