Psalm 39

With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.

And he heard my prayers.

And he brought me out of the pit of misery, and the mire of dregs.

And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.

And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God.

Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.

Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord.

And who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.

Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God.

And in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.

I have declared and I have spoken: they are multiplied above number.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire: but thou hast pierced my ears.

Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: then said I, Behold I come.

In the head of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it.

And thy law in the midst of my heart.

I have declared thy justice in a great church.

Lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.

I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.

I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.

Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me.

Thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.

For evils without number have surrounded me.

My iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.

They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: look down, O Lord, to help me.

Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away.

Let them be turned backward, and be ashamed that desire evils to me.

Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Well done, well done.

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee.

And let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me.

Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, delay not.

Exspectans exspectávi Dóminum:
et intendit mihi.

Et exaudívit preces meas:
et edúxit me de lacu misériæ, et de luto fæcis.

Et státuit super petram pedes meos:
et diréxit gressus meos.

Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum:
carminem Deo nostro.

Videbunt multi, et timébunt:
et sperábunt in Dómino.

Beátus vir, cuius est nomen Dómini spes eius:
et non respéxit in vanitátes et insánias falsas.

Multa fecísti tu, Dómine Deus meus, mirabília tua:
et cogitatiónibus tuis non est qui símilis sit tibi.

Annuntiávi et locútus sum:
multiplicáti sunt super númerum.

Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti:
aures autem perfecísti mihi.

Holocáustum et pro peccáto non postulásti:
tunc dixi: Ecce venio.

In cápite libri scriptum est de me:
ut fácerem voluntátem tuam.

Deus meus, vólui, et legem tuam in médio cordis mei.

Annuntiávi iustítiam tuam in ecclésia magna:
ec prohibuérunt lábia mea, Dómine, tu scis.

Iustítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo:
veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi.

Non abscóndi misericórdiam tuam et veritátem tuam
a concílio multo.

Tu autem, Dómine, ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me:
misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscepérunt me.

Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus:
comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, et non potui ut vidérem.

Multiplicátæ sunt super capíllos cápitis mei:
et cor meum derelíquit me.

Complaceat tibi, Dómine, ut éruas me:
Dómine, ad adiuvándum me réspice.

Confundántur et revereántur simul
qui quærunt ánimam meam ut auferant eam.

Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant
qui volunt mihi mala.

Ferant conféstim confusiónem suam,
qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.

Exsúltent et læténtur super te omnes quæréntes te:
et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus,
amantés salutáre tuum.

Ego autem mendícus sum et páuper:
et Dóminus sollícitus est mei.

Adjútor meus et protéctor meus tu es:
Deus meus, ne tardáveris.
