1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.3 They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see it "?"6 They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.7 But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.8 He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.9 All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!
1 In finem. Psalmus David, canticum Jeremi et Ezechielis populo transmigrationis, cum inciperent exire. 2 [Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.3 Exaudi orationem meam ;ad te omnis caro veniet.4 Verba iniquorum prvaluerunt super nos,et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.5 Beatus quem elegisti et assumpsisti :inhabitabit in atriis tuis.Replebimur in bonis domus tu ;sanctum est templum tuum,6 mirabile in quitate.Exaudi nos, Deus, salutaris noster,spes omnium finium terr, et in mari longe.7 Prparans montes in virtute tua,accinctus potentia ;8 qui conturbas profundum maris,sonum fluctuum ejus.Turbabuntur gentes,9 et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis ;exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.10 Visitasti terram, et inebriasti eam ;multiplicasti locupletare eam.Flumen Dei repletum est aquis ; parasti cibum illorum :quoniam ita est prparatio ejus.11 Rivos ejus inebria ;multiplica genimina ejus :in stillicidiis ejus ltabitur germinans.12 Benedices coron anni benignitatis tu,et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.13 Pinguescent speciosa deserti,et exsultatione colles accingentur.14 Induti sunt arietes ovium,et valles abundabunt frumento ;clamabunt, etenim hymnum dicent.]
