Psalmus 39.
(4A*)
Psalm 39.
39:1. Exspéctans exspectávi minum, * et inténdit mihi. 1. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he was attentive to me.
39:2. Et exaudívit preces meas : * et edúxit me de lacu misériæ, et de luto cis. 2. And he heard my prayers, * and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
39:3. Et státuit super petram pedes meos : * et diréxit gressus meos. 3. And he set my feet upon a rock, * and directed my steps.
39:4. Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, * carmen Deo nostro. 4. And he put a new canticle into my mouth, * a song to our God.
39:5. Vidébunt multi, et tibunt : * et sperábunt in mino. 5. Many shall see, and shall fear: * and they shall hope in the Lord.
39:6. Beátus vir, cujus est nomen Dómini spes ejus : * et non respéxit in vanitátes et insánias falsas. 6. Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; * and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
39:7. Multa fecísti tu, Dómine, Deus meus, mirabília tua : * et cogitatiónibus tuis non est qui símilis sit tibi. 7. Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: * and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.
39:8. Annuntiávi et lotus sum : * multiplicáti sunt super merum. 8. I have declared and I have spoken * they are multiplied above number.
39:9. Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti : * aures autem perfecísti mihi. 9. Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; * but thou hast pierced ears for me.
39:9. Holocáustum et pro peccáto non postusti : * tunc dixi : Ecce, nio. 9. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: * then said I, Behold I come.
39:9. In cápite libri scriptum est de me ut fácerem voluntátem tuam : * Deus meus, vólui, et legem tuam in médio cordis mei. 9. In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do thy will: * O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
39:10. Annuntiávi justítiam tuam in ecclésia magna, * ecce, lábia mea non prohibébo : Dómine, tu scisti. 10. I have declared thy justice in a great church, * lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
39:11. Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo : * veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi. 11. I have not hid thy justice within my heart: * I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.
39:12. Non abscóndi misericórdiam tuam et veritátem tuam * a concílio multo. 12. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth * from a great council.
39:13. Tu autem, Dómine, ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me : * misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscerunt me. 13. Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: * thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
39:14. Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus :
comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, * et non pótui ut virem.
14. For evils without number have surrounded me; * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.
39:14. Multiplicátæ sunt super capíllos cápitis mei : * et cor meum derequit me. 14. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart hath forsaken me.
39:14. Compláceat tibi, Dómine, ut éruas me : * Dómine, ad adjuvándum me spice. 14. Be pleased, O Lord to deliver me: * look down, O Lord, to help me.
39:15. Confundántur et revereántur simul, qui quærunt ánimam meam, * ut áuferant eam. 15. Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul * to take it away.
39:16. Convertántur retrórsum, et revereántur, * qui volunt mihi mala. 16. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed * that desire evils to me.
39:17. Ferant conféstim confusiónem suam, * qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge. 17. Let them immediately bear their confusion, * that say to me: 'T is well, 't is well.
39:18. Exsúltent et læténtur super te omnes quæréntes te : * et dicant semper : Magnificétur Dóminus : qui díligunt salutáre tuum. 18. Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
39:18. Ego autem mendícus sum, et pauper : * Dóminus sollícitus est mei. 18. But I am a beggar and poor: * the Lord is careful for me.
39:18. Adjútor meus, et protéctor meus tu es : * Deus meus, ne tarveris. 18. Thou art my helper and my protector: * O my God, be not slack.
