Psalmus 37.
(8G)
Psalm 37.
37:1. Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me. 1. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; * nor chastise me in thy wrath.
37:2. Quóniam sagíttæ tuæ infíxæ sunt mihi : * et confirmásti super me manum tuam. 2. For thy arrows are fastened in me: * and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
37:3. Non est sánitas in carne mea a fácie iræ tuæ : * non est pax óssibus meis a fácie peccatórum meórum. 3. There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: * there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
37:4. Quóniam iniquitátes meæ supergréssæ sunt caput meum : * et sicut onus grave gravátæ sunt super me. 4. For my iniquities are gone over my head: * and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
37:5. Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ. 5. My sores are putrified and corrupted, * because of my foolishness.
37:6. Miser factus sum, et curvátus sum usque in finem : * tota die contristátus ingrediébar. 6. I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: * I walked sorrowful all the day long.
37:7. Quóniam lumbi mei impléti sunt illusiónibus : * et non est sánitas in carne mea. 7. For my loins are filled with illusions; * and there is no health in my flesh.
37:8. Afflíctus sum, et humiliátus sum nimis : * rugiébam a gémitu cordis mei. 8. I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: * I roared with the groaning of my heart.
37:9. Dómine, ante te omne desidérium meum : * et gémitus meus a te non est abscónditus. 9. Lord, all my desire is before thee, * and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
37:10. Cor meum conturbátum est, derelíquit me virtus mea : * et lumen oculórum meórum, et ipsum non est mecum. 10. My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, * and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
37:12. Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt. 12. My friends and my neighbours * have drawn near, and stood against me.
37:13. Et qui juxta me erant, de longe stetérunt : * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam. 13. And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.
37:14. Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes : * et dolos tota die meditabántur. 14. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.
37:15. Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam : * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum. 15. But I, as a deaf man, heard not: * and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:16. Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens : * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes. 16. And I became as a man that heareth not: * and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:17. Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi : * tu exáudies me, Dómine, Deus meus. 17. For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: * thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:18. Quia dixi : Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei : * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt. 18. For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: * and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:19. Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum : * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper. 19. For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:20. Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo : * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo. 20. For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think for my sin.
37:21. Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me : * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque. 21. But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:22. Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi : * quóniam sequébar bonitátem. 22. They that render evil for good, have detracted me, * because I followed goodness.
37:23. Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, Deus meus : * ne discésseris a me. 23. Forsake me not, O Lord my God: * do not thou depart from me.
37:23. Inténde in adjutórium meum, * Dómine, Deus, salútis meæ. 23. Attend unto my help, * O Lord, the God of my salvation.
