1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

1 In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.

2 ¶ Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiæ meæ,
in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

3 Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde?
ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?

3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

4 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Irascimini, et nolite peccare;
quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

6 Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino.
Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?

6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine:
dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

9 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;

10 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
