VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumææ.1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Psalm Of David] In God alone there is rest for my soul, from himcomes my safety;
2 Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo.
Sitivit in te anima mea ; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea !
2 he alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.
3 In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa,
sic in sancto apparui tibi,
ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
3 How much longer wil you set on a victim, al together, intent on murder, like a rampart already leaningover, a wall already damaged?
4 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas,
labia mea laudabunt te.
4 Trickery is their only plan, deception their only pleasure, with lies on their lips they pronounce ablessing, with a curse in their hearts.Pause
5 Sic benedicam te in vita mea,
et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
5 Rest in God alone, my soul! He is the source of my hope.
6 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea,
et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
6 He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.
7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum,
in matutinis meditabor in te.
7 In God is my safety and my glory, the rock of my strength. In God is my refuge;
8 Quia fuisti adjutor meus,
et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
8 trust in him, you people, at al times. Pour out your hearts to him, God is a refuge for us.Pause
9 Adhæsit anima mea post te ;
me suscepit dextera tua.
9 Ordinary people are a mere puff of wind, important people a delusion; set both on the scales together,and they are lighter than a puff of wind.
10 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam :
introibunt in inferiora terræ ;
10 Put no trust in extortion, no empty hopes in robbery; however much wealth may multiply, do not setyour heart on it.
11 tradentur in manus gladii :
partes vulpium erunt.
11 Once God has spoken, twice have I heard this: Strength belongs to God,
12 Rex vero lætabitur in Deo ;
laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo :
quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
12 to you, Lord, faithful love; and you repay everyone as their deeds deserve.
