VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Of David In a quiet voice When he escaped from Saul inthe cave] Take pity on me, God, take pity on me, for in you I take refuge, in the shadow of your wings I takerefuge, until the destruction is past.
2 Si vere utique justitiam loquimini,
recta judicate, filii hominum.
2 I call to God the Most High, to God who has done everything for me;
3 Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini ;
in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.
3 may he send from heaven and save me, and check those who harry me;Pause may God send hisfaithful love and his constancy.
4 Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva ;
erraverunt ab utero :
locuti sunt falsa.
4 I lie surrounded by lions, greedy for human prey, their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue asharp sword.
5 Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis,
sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,
5 Be exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over al the earth!
6 quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium,
et venefici incantantis sapienter.
6 They laid a snare in my path -- I was bowed with care -- they dug a pit ahead of me, but fel in itthemselves.Pause
7 Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum ;
molas leonum confringet Dominus.
7 My heart is ready, God, my heart is ready; I wil sing, and make music for you.
8 Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens ;
intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, lyre and harp, that I may awake the Dawn.
9 Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur ;
supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
9 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord, I wil make music for you among nations,
10 Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum,
sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
10 for your faithful love towers to heaven, your constancy to the clouds.
11 Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam ;
manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, God! Your glory over al the earth!
12 Et dicet homo : Si utique est fructus justo,
utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.
