圣咏集 7

1The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16]

2O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

3Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

4O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:

5If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

6Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

7Rise 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:

8And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

9The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

10The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.

11Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.

12God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

13Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.

14And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.

15Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.

16He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.

17His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.

18I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

1Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.

2[Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me:

3nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.

4Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,

5si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.

6Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.

7Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum: et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in præcepto quod mandasti,

8et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere:

9Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.

10Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

11Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.

12Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies?

13Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.

14Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.

15Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.

16Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.

17Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.

18Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]

1A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini.

2O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:

3lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.

4O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:

5if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:

6let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust.

7Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,

8and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.

9The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.

10The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.

11Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.

12God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?

13Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.

14And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.

15Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.

16He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.

17His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.

18I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
