0.

0. To the choirmaster: according to The Hind of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.

1. Magistro chori. Ad modum cantici " Cerva diluculo ". PSALMUS. David.

1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?

2. Deus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquisti? Longe a salute mea verba rugitus mei.

2. O my God, I cry by day, but thou dost not answer; and by night, but find no rest.

3. Deus meus, clamo per diem, et non exaudis, et nocte, et non est requies mihi.

3. Yet thou art holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

4. Tu autem sanctus es, qui habitas in laudibus Israel.

4. In thee our fathers trusted; they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5. In te speraverunt patres nostri, speraverunt, et liberasti eos;

5. To thee they cried, and were saved; in thee they trusted, and were not disappointed.

6. ad te clamaverunt et salvi facti sunt, in te speraverunt et non sunt confusi.

6. But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by men, and despised by the people.

7. Ego autem sum vermis et non homo, opprobrium hominum et abiectio plebis.

7. All who see me mock at me, they make mouths at me, they wag their heads;

8. Omnes videntes me deriserunt me; torquentes labia moverunt caput:

8. "He committed his cause to the LORD; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"

9. “Speravit in Domino: eripiat eum, salvum faciat eum, quoniam vult eum”.

9. Yet thou art he who took me from the womb; thou didst keep me safe upon my mother's breasts.

10. Quoniam tu es qui extraxisti me de ventre, spes mea ad ubera matris meae.

10. Upon thee was I cast from my birth, and since my mother bore me thou hast been my God.

11. In te proiectus sum ex utero, de ventre matris meae Deus meus es tu.

11. Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is none to help.

12. Ne longe fias a me, quoniam tribulatio proxima est, quoniam non est qui adiuvet.

12. Many bulls encompass me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

13. Circumdederunt me vituli multi, tauri Basan obsederunt me.

13. they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.

14. Aperuerunt super me os suum sicut leo rapiens et rugiens.

14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax, it is melted within my breast;

15. Sicut aqua effusus sum, et dissoluta sunt omnia ossa mea. Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.

15. my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; thou dost lay me in the dust of death.

16. Aruit tamquam testa palatum meum, et lingua mea adhaesit faucibus meis, et in pulverem mortis deduxisti me.

16. Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet --

17. Quoniam circumdederunt me canes multi, concilium malignantium obsedit me. Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos,

17. I can count all my bones -- they stare and gloat over me;

18. et dinumeravi omnia ossa mea. Ipsi vero consideraverunt et inspexerunt me;

18. they divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots.

19. diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.

19. But thou, O LORD, be not far off! O thou my help, hasten to my aid!

20. Tu autem, Domine, ne elongaveris; fortitudo mea, ad adiuvandum me festina.

20. Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the power of the dog!

21. Erue a framea animam meam et de manu canis unicam meam.

21. Save me from the mouth of the lion, my afflicted soul from the horns of the wild oxen!

22. Salva me ex ore leonis et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.

22. I will tell of thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee:

23. Narrabo nomen tuum fratribus meis, in medio ecclesiae laudabo te.

23. You who fear the LORD, praise him! all you sons of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you sons of Israel!

24. Qui timetis Dominum, laudate eum; universum semen Iacob, glorificate eum. Metuat eum omne semen Israel,

24. For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; and he has not hid his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.

25. quoniam non sprevit neque despexit afflictionem pauperis nec avertit faciem suam ab eo et, cum clamaret ad eum, exaudivit.

25. From thee comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.

26. Apud te laus mea in ecclesia magna; vota mea reddam in conspectu timentium eum.

26. The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever!

27. Edent pauperes et saturabuntur; et laudabunt Dominum, qui requirunt eum: “Vivant corda eorum in saeculum saeculi!”.

27. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.

28. Reminiscentur et convertentur ad Dominum universi fines terrae, et adorabunt in conspectu eius universae familiae gentium.

28. For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.

29. Quoniam Domini est regnum, et ipse dominabitur gentium.

29. Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive.

30. Ipsum solum adorabunt omnes, qui dormiunt in terra; in conspectu eius procident omnes, qui descendunt in pulverem. Anima autem mea illi vivet,

30. Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation,

31. et semen meum serviet ipsi. Narrabitur de Domino generationi venturae;

31. and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it.

32. et annuntiabunt iustitiam eius populo, qui nascetur: “Haec fecit Dominus!”.
