Latin text
Bonum est confidere in Domino
quam confidere in homine
Bonum est sperare in Domino
quam sperare in principibus
Omnes gentes circumierunt me
et in nomine Domini
quia vitus sum in eos.
Circumdantes
circumdederunt me,
et in nomine Domini,
quia vitus sum in eos.
Circumdederunt me sicut apes,
et exarserunt sicut ignis in spinis:
et in nomine Domini,
quia vitus sum in eos.
English translation
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.
All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord
I cut them off!
They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord
I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord
I cut them off!
