VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus,
qui docet manus meas ad prælium,
et digitos meos ad bellum.
1 Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. [1 Kings
2 Misericordia mea et refugium meum ;
susceptor meus et liberator meus ;
protector meus, et in ipso speravi,
qui subdit populum meum sub me.
2 I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
3 Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei ?
aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum ?
3 In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:
4 Homo vanitati similis factus est ;
dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt.
4 When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.
5 Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende ;
tange montes, et fumigabunt.
5 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
6 Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos ;
emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos.
6 I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
7 Emitte manum tuam de alto : eripe me,
et libera me de aquis multis,
de manu filiorum alienorum :
7 Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
8 quorum os locutum est vanitatem,
et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
8 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
9 Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi ;
in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi.
10 Qui das salutem regibus,
qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno,
11 eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum,
quorum os locutum est vanitatem,
et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
12 Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua ;
filiæ eorum compositæ,
circumornatæ ut similitudo templi.
13 Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud ;
oves eorum f?tosæ, abundantes in egressibus suis ;
14 boves eorum crassæ.
Non est ruina maceriæ, neque transitus,
neque clamor in plateis eorum.
15 Beatum dixerunt populum cui hæc sunt ;
beatus populus cujus Dominus Deus ejus.
