| | | In te, Domine, speravi | | 1 | In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; *
deliver me in your righteousness. | | 2 | Incline your ear to me; *
make haste to deliver me. | | 3 | Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe, for you are my crag and my stronghold; *
for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me. | | 4 | Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
for you are my tower of strength. | | 5 | Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
for you have redeemed me, O LORD, O God of truth. | | 6 | I hate those who cling to worthless idols, *
and I put my trust in the LORD. | | 7 | I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy; *
for you have seen my affliction;
you know my distress. | | 8 | You have not shut me up in the power of the enemy; *
you have set my feet in an open place. | | 9 | Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; *
my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat and my belly. | | 10 | For my life is wasted with grief, and my years with sighing; *
my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones are consumed. | | 11 | I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *
when they see me in the street they avoid me. | | 12 | I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *
I am as useless as a broken pot. | | 13 | For I have heard the whispering of the crowd;
fear is all around; *
they put their heads together against me;
they plot to take my life. | | 14 | But as for me, I have trusted in you, O LORD. *
I have said, "You are my God. | | 15 | My times are in your hand; *
rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. | | 16 | Make your face to shine upon your servant, *
and in your loving-kindness save me." | | 17 | LORD, let me not be ashamed for having called upon you; *
rather, let the wicked be put to shame;
let them be silent in the grave. | | 18 | Let the lying lips be silenced which speak against the righteous, *
haughtily, disdainfully, and with contempt. | | 19 | How great is your goodness, O LORD! which you have laid up for those who fear you; *
which you have done in the sight of all for those who put their trust in you. | | 20 | You hide them in the covert of your presence from those who slander them; *
you keep them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. | | 21 | Blessed be the LORD! *
for he has shown me the wonders of his love in a besieged city. | | 22 | Yet I said in my alarm, "I have been cut off from the sight of your eyes." *
Nevertheless, you heard the sound of my entreaty when I cried out to you. | | 23 | Love the LORD, all you who worship him; *
the LORD protects the faithful, but repays to the full those who act haughtily. | | 24 | Be strong and let your heart take courage, *
all you who wait for the LORD. |
| | | Judica, Domine | | 1 | Fight those who fight me, O LORD; *
attack those who are attacking me. | | 2 | Take up shield and armor *
and rise up to help me. | | 3 | Draw the sword and bar the way against those who pursue me; *
say to my soul," I am your salvation." | | 4 | Let those who seek after my life be shamed and humbled, *
let those who plot my ruin fall back and be dismayed. | | 5 | Let them be like chaff before the wind, *
and let the angel of the LORD drive them away. | | 6 | Let their way be dark and slippery, *
and let the angel of the LORD pursue them. | | 7 | For they have secretly spread a net for me without a cause; *
without a cause they have dug a pit to take me alive. | | 8 | Let ruin come upon them unawares; *
let them be caught in the net they hid;
let them fall into the pit they dug. | | 9 | Then I will be joyful in the LORD; *
I will glory in his victory. | | 10 | My very bones will say, "LORD, who is like you? *
You deliver the poor from those who are too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them." | | 11 | Malicious witnesses rise up against me; *
they charge me with matters I know nothing about. | | 12 | They pay me evil in exchange for good; *
my soul is full of despair. | | 13 | But when they were sick I dressed in sack-cloth *
and humbled myself by fasting; | | 14 | I prayed with my whole heart, as one would for a friend or a brother; *
I behaved like one who mourns for his mother, bowed down and grieving. | | 15 | But when I stumbled, they were glad and gathered together;
they gathered against me; *
strangers whom I did not know tore me to pieces and would not stop. | | 16 | They put me to the test and mocked me; *
they gnashed at me with their teeth. | | 17 | O Lord, how long will you look on? *
rescue me from the roaring beasts, and my life from the young lions. | | 18 | I will give you thanks in the great congregation; *
I will praise you in the mighty throng. | | 19 | Do not let my treacherous foes rejoice over me, *
nor let those who hate me without a cause wink at each other. | | 20 | For they do not plan for peace, *
but invent deceitful schemes against the quiet in the land. | | 21 | They opened their mouths at me and said, *
"Aha! we saw it with our own eyes." | | 22 | You saw it, O LORD; do not be silent; *
O Lord, be not far from me. | | 23 | Awake, arise, to my cause! *
to my defense, my God and my Lord! | | 24 | Give me justice, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; *
do not let them triumph over me. | | 25 | Do not let them say in their hearts, "Aha! just what we want!" *
Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up." | | 26 | Let all who rejoice at my ruin be ashamed and disgraced; *
let those who boast against me be clothed with dismay and shame. | | 27 | Let those who favor my cause sing out with joy and be glad; *
let them say always, "Great is the LORD, who desires the prosperity of his servant." | | 28 | And my tongue shall be talking of your righteousness *
and of your praise all the day long. |
