1 Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
1 Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. [Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea : quem timebo ?Dominus protector vit me :a quo trepidabo ?2 Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas,qui tribulant me inimici mei,ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.3 Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum ;si exsurgat adversum me prlium, in hoc ego sperabo.4 Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram,ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vit me ;ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.5 Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo ;in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.6 In petra exaltavit me,et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos.Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis ;cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.7 Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te ;miserere mei, et exaudi me.8 Tibi dixit cor meum : Exquisivit te facies mea ;faciem tuam, Domine, requiram.9 Ne avertas faciem tuam a me ;ne declines in ira a servo tuo.Adjutor meus esto ; ne derelinquas me,neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus.10 Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me ;Dominus autem assumpsit me.11 Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua,et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos.12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me,quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui,et mentita est iniquitas sibi.13 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age :et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.]
