53:3. Quóniam aliéni insurrexérunt advérsum me,

3. For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: * and they have not set God before their eyes.

53:5. Avérte mala inimícis meis : * et in veritáte tua dispérde illos. 5. Turn back the evils upon my enemies; * and cut them off in thy truth.
53:6. Voluntárie sacrificábo tibi, * et confitébor nómini tuo, Dómine : quóniam bonum est : 6. I will freely sacrifice to thee, * and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
53:7. Quóniam ex omni tribulatióne eripuísti me : * et super inimícos meos despéxit óculus meus. 7. For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: * and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
V. Glória Patri, et lio, * et Spirítui Sancto. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
