Psalmorum 7
1 psalmus David quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi filii Iemini Domine Deus meus in te speravi salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me
The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam dum non est qui redimat neque qui salvum faciat
Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
3 Domine Deus meus si feci istud si est iniquitas in manibus meis
O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
4 si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis
If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
5 persequatur inimicus animam meam et conprehendat et conculcet in terra vitam meam et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat diapsalma
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
6 exsurge Domine in ira tua exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum et exsurge Domine Deus meus in praecepto quod mandasti
Rise 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:
7 et synagoga populorum circumdabit te et propter hanc in altum regredere
And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Dominus iudicat populos iudica me Domine secundum iustitiam meam et secundum innocentiam meam super me
The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
9 consummetur nequitia peccatorum et diriges iustum et scrutans corda et renes Deus
The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
10 iustum adiutorium meum a Deo qui salvos facit rectos corde
Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
11 Deus iudex iustus et fortis et patiens numquid irascitur per singulos dies
God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
12 nisi conversi fueritis gladium suum vibrabit arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum
Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
13 et in eo paravit vasa mortis sagittas suas ardentibus effecit
And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
14 ecce parturiit iniustitiam et; concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem
Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
15 lacum aperuit et effodit eum et incidet in foveam quam fecit
He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
16 convertetur dolor eius in caput eius et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet
His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
17 confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
