Psalm 12

How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

In finem. Psalmus David.

Usquequo, Dómine, obliviscéris me in finem? Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me?

Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea, dolórem in corde meo per diem?

Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me?

Réspice, et exáudi me, Dómine Deus meus.

Illúmina óculos meos, ne umquam obdórmiam in morte;

nequándo dicat inimícus meus: Præválui advérsus eum.

Qui tríbulant me exsultábunt, si motus fúero.

Ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi.

Exsultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Dómino qui bona tríbuit mihi.
