Psalmi 7

Bibbia Vulgata Clementina	Douai-Rheims
¹ Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.	¹ The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16.]
² Domine Deus meus, in te speravi ; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me :	² O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
³ nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.	³ Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
⁴ Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,	⁴ O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
⁵ si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.	⁵ If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
⁶ Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat ; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.	⁶ Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
⁷ Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum : et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in præcepto quod mandasti,	⁷ Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
⁸ et synagoga populorum circumdabit te : et propter hanc in altum regredere :	⁸ and a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
⁹ Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.	⁹ The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
¹⁰ Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.	¹⁰ The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
¹¹ Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.	¹¹ Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
¹² Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens ; numquid irascitur per singulos dies ?	¹² God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
¹³ Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit ; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.	¹³ Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
¹⁴ Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.	¹⁴ And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
¹⁵ Ecce parturiit injustitiam ; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.	¹⁵ Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
¹⁶ Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum ; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.	¹⁶ He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
¹⁷ Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.	¹⁷ His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
¹⁸ Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.	¹⁸ I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
