0. A Psalm of David.
1. PSALMUS. David. Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua iustitia.
1. Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my supplications! In thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness!
2. Et non intres in iudicium cum servo tuo, quia non iustificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
2. Enter not into judgment with thy servant; for no man living is righteous before thee.
3. Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam, contrivit in terra vitam meam, collocavit me in obscuris sicut mortuos a saeculo.
3. For the enemy has pursued me; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
4. Et anxiatus est in me spiritus meus, in medio mei obriguit cor meum.
4. Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5. Memor fui dierum antiquorum, meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis, in factis manuum tuarum recogitabam.
5. I remember the days of old, I meditate on all that thou hast done; I muse on what thy hands have wrought.
6. Expandi manus meas ad te, anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
6. I stretch out my hands to thee; my soul thirsts for thee like a parched land. [Selah]
7. Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non abscondas faciem tuam a me, ne similis fiam descendentibus in lacum.
7. Make haste to answer me, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the Pit.
8. Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam.
8. Let me hear in the morning of thy steadfast love, for in thee I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to thee I lift up my soul.
9. Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine, ad te confugi.
9. Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies! I have fled to thee for refuge!
10. Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam;
10. Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path!
11. propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me. In iustitia tua educes de tribulatione animam meam
11. For thy name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In thy righteousness bring me out of trouble!
12. et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos; et perdes omnes, qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.
12. And in thy steadfast love cut off my enemies, and destroy all my adversaries, for I am thy servant.
