Salmi 31

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.	1 The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
2 In te, Domine, speravi, non confundar in aeternum; in iustitia tua libera me.	2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Inclina ad me aurem tuam, accelera, ut eruas me. Esto mihi in rupem praesidii et in domum munitam, ut salvum me facias.	3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
4 Quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu et propter nomen tuum deduces me et pasces me.	4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
5 Educes me de laqueo, quem absconderunt mihi, quoniam tu es fortitudo mea.	5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
6 In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum; redemisti me, Domine, Deus veritatis.	6 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
7 Odisti observantes vanitates supervacuas, ego autem in Domino speravi.	7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
8 Exsultabo et laetabor in misericordia tua, quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam; agnovisti necessitates animae meae	8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
9 nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici; statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos.	9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
10 Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam tribulor; conturbatus est in maerore oculus meus, anima mea et venter meus.	10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
11 Quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea, et anni mei in gemitibus; infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea, et ossa mea contabuerunt.	11 Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
12 Apud omnes inimicos meos factus sum opprobrium et vicinis meis valde et timor notis meis: qui videbant me foras, fugiebant a me.
13 Oblivioni a corde datus sum tamquam mortuus; factus sum tamquam vas perditum.
14 Quoniam audivi vituperationem multorum: horror in circuitu; in eo dum convenirent simul adversum me, auferre animam meam consiliati sunt.
15 Ego autem in te speravi, Domine; dixi: “ Deus meus es tu,
16 in manibus tuis sortes meae ”. Eripe me de manu inimicorum meorum et a persequentibus me;
17 illustra faciem tuam super servum tuum, salvum me fac in misericordia tua.
18 Domine, non confundar, quoniam invocavi te; erubescant impii et obmutescant in inferno.
19 Muta fiant labia dolosa, quae loquuntur adversus iustum proterva in superbia et in abusione.
20 Quam magna multitudo dulcedinis tuae, Domine, quam abscondisti timentibus te. Perfecisti eis, qui sperant in te, in conspectu filiorum hominum.
21 Abscondes eos in abscondito faciei tuae a conturbatione hominum; proteges eos in tabernaculo a contradictione linguarum.
22 Benedictus Dominus, quoniam mirificavit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita.
23 Ego autem dixi in trepidatione mea: “ Praecisus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum ”. Verumtamen exaudisti vocem orationis meae, dum clamarem ad te.
24 Diligite Dominum, omnes sancti eius: fideles conservat Dominus et retribuit abundanter facientibus superbiam.
25 Viriliter agite, et confortetur cor vestrum, omnes, qui speratis in Domino.
