1. David psalmus filiorum Jonadab et priorum captivorum in te Domine speravi non confundar in æternum

1. A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:

2. in justitia tua libera me et eripe me inclina ad me aurem tuam et salva me

2. deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

5. quoniam tu es patientia mea Domine Domine spes mea a juventute mea

8. repleatur os meum laude ut cantem gloriam tuam tota die magnitudinem tuam

9. non proicias me in tempore senectutis cum deficiet virtus mea ne derelinquas me

9. Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

10. quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi et qui custodiebant animam meam consilium fecerunt in unum

10. For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,

11. dicentes Deus dereliquit eum persequimini et conprehendite eum quia non est qui eripiat

11. Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

12. Deus ne elongeris a me Deus meus in adiutorium meum respice

14. But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

15. os meum adnuntiabit justitiam tuam tota die salutem tuam quoniam non cognovi litteraturam

16. introibo in potentiam Domini Domine memorabor justitiæ tuæ solius

18. et usque in senectam et senium Deus ne derelinquas me donec adnuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni quæ ventura est potentiam tuam

18. And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,

19. et justitiam tuam Deus usque in altissima quæ fecisti magnalia Deus quis similis tibi

19. and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

20. quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas et conversus vivificasti me et de abyssis terræ iterum reduxisti me

20. How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth :

21. multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam et conversus consolatus es me

23. exultabunt labia mea cum cantavero tibi et anima mea quam redemisti
