1Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et digitos meos ad bellum.
Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
Psalmo Davide. Contra Goliath. Benedicto Domino Deo meo, qui doce manus meo ad praelio, et digitos meo ad bello.
2Misericordia mea et refugium meum; susceptor meus et liberator meus; protector meus, et in ipso speravi, qui subdit populum meum sub me.
My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.
Misericordia meo et refugio meo; susceptore meo et liberatore meo; protectore meo, et in ipso spera, qui subde populo meo sub me.
3Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum?
Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
Domino, quid es homine, quia innosce ad illo? Aut filio de homine, quia reputa illo?
4Homo vanitati similis factus est; dies ejus sicut umbra prætereunt.
Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.
Homine ad vanitate simili facto es; dies de illo sicut umbra praeteri.
5Domine, inclina cælos tuos, et descende; tange montes, et fumigabunt.
Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Domino, inclina caelos tuo, et descende; tange montes, et fumiga.
6Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos.
Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
Fulguras coruscatione, et dissipa illos; eme sagittates tuo, et conturba illos.
7Emitte manum tuam de alto: eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum:
Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:
Eme manu tuo de altissimo: eripe me, et libro me de aquas multo, de manu de filios aliena:
8quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
De que ore loque es vanitate, et dextera de illos dextera de iniquitate.
9Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi.
To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.
Deo, canta cantico novo ad te; in psalterio decachor psalle ad te.
10Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno,
Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:
Qui da salute ad reges, qui redemi Davide servo tuo de gladio maligno,
11eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis.
Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
Eripe me, et erue me de manu de filios aliena, de que ore loque es vanitate, et dextera de illos dextera de iniquitate.
12Quorum filii sicut novellæ plantationes in juventute sua; filiæ eorum compositæ, circumornatæ ut similitudo templi.
Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
De que filios sicut novello plantationes in iuventute suo; filias de illos compone, circumor ut similitudine de templo.
13Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud; oves eorum fœtosæ, abundantes in egressibus suis;
Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:
Promptuario de illos plena, eructa ex hoc in illo; oves de illos foetoso, abunda in egresses suo;
14boves eorum crassæ. Non est ruina maceriæ, neque transitus, neque clamor in plateis eorum.
Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.
Boves de illos crassas. Non es ruina de maceria, neque transitu, neque clamore in plateas de illos.
15Beatum dixerunt populum cui hæc sunt; beatus populus cujus Dominus Deus ejus.
They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
Beato dic populo ad que hoc es; beato populo de que Domino Deo de illo.
