1  In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.

2  Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.

3  Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriæ et de luto fæcis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.

4  Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.

5  Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas.

6  Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua ; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum : multiplicati sunt super numerum.

7  Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti ; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti ;

8  tunc dixi : Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me,

9  ut facerem voluntatem tuam. Deus meus, volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei.

10  Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna ; ecce labia mea non prohibebo : Domine, tu scisti.

11  Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo ; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi ; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.

12  Tu autem, Domine, ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me ; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me.

13  Quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus ; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meæ, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatæ sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me.

14  Complaceat tibi, Domine, ut eruas me ; Domine, ad adjuvandum me respice.

15  Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam ; convertantur retrorsum et revereantur, qui volunt mihi mala.

16  Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge !

17  Exsultent et lætentur super te omnes quærentes te ; et dicant semper : Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.

18  Ego autem mendicus sum et pauper ; Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adjutor meus et protector meus tu es ; Deus meus, ne tardaveris.


Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  I waited patiently for the Lord : and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling.

2  He brought me also out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay : and set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings.

3  And he hath put a new song in my mouth : even a thanksgiving unto our God.

4  Many shall see it, and fear : and shall put their trust in the Lord.

5  Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the Lord : and turned not unto the proud, and to such as go about with lies.

6  O Lord my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts which are to us-ward : and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee:

7  If I should declare them, and speak of them : they should be more than I am able to express.

8  Sacrifice and meat-offering thou wouldest not : but mine ears hast thou opened.

 9 Burnt-offerings, and sacrifice for sin, hast thou not required : then said I, Lo, I come,

10  In the volume of the book it is written of me, that I should fulfil thy will, O my God : I am content to do it; yea, thy law is within my heart.

11  I have declared thy righteousness in the great congregation : lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Lord, and that thou knowest.

12  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart : my talk hath been of thy truth and of thy salvation.

13  I have not kept back thy loving mercy and truth : from the great congregation.

14  Withdraw not thou thy mercy from me, O Lord : let thy loving-kindness and thy truth alway preserve me.

15  For innumerable troubles are come about me; my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to look up : yea, they are more in number than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.

16  O Lord, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me : make haste, O Lord, to help me.

17  Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seek after my soul to destroy it : let them be driven backward and put to rebuke, that wish me evil.

18  Let them be desolate, and rewarded with shame : that say unto me, Fie upon thee, fie upon thee.

19  Let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised.

20  As for me, I am poor and needy : but the Lord careth for me.

21  Thou art my helper and redeemer : make no long tarrying, O my God.
