DRA Psalm 16:1 The prayer of David |
Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis. |
Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips. |
2 De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant
aequitates. 3
Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa
in me iniquitas. 4 Ut
non loquatur os meum opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego
custodivi vias duras. 5 Perfice gressus meos
in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea. 6 Ego clamavi, quoniam
exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea. 7 Mirifica
misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te. 8 A resistentibus
dexterae tuae custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege
me 9 a facie impiorum qui
me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt; 10 adipem suum
concluserunt: os eorum locutum est superbiam. 11 Projicientes me nunc
circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram. 12 Susceperunt me sicut
leo paratus ad praedam, et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis. 13 Exsurge, Domine:
praeveni eum, et supplanta eum: eripe animam meam ab impio; frameam tuam 14 ab inimicis manus
tuae. Domine, a paucis de terra divide eos in vita eorum; de absconditis tuis
adimpletus est venter eorum. Saturati sunt filiis, et dimiserunt reliquias
suas parvulis suis. 15 Ego autem in justitia apparebo conspectui tuo; satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua. |
. 2 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy
eyes behold the things that are equitable. 3 Thou hast proved my
heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath
not been found in me. 4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the
sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways. 5 Perfect thou my
goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved. 6 I have cried to thee,
for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words. 7 Shew forth thy
wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee. 8 From them that resist
thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow
of thy wings. 9 From the face of the
wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul: 10 They have shut up
their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly. 11 They have cast me
forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down
to the earth. 12 They have taken me,
as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret
places. 13 Arise, O Lord,
disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy
sword 14 From the enemies of
thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their
belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they
have left to their little ones the rest of their substance. 15 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear. |
