Psalms 53

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,	1 In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,
2 when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”	2 cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul : Nonne David absconditus est apud nos ?
3 Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.	3 Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
4 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.	4 Deus, exaudi orationem meam ; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
5 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.	5 Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
6 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.	6 Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.
7 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.	7 Averte mala inimicis meis ; et in veritate tua disperde illos.
8 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.	8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.
9 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.	9 Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
