Psalmus 13

The Lord hath looked down from heaven * upon the children of men.

The fool hath said in his heart: * there is no God.

2. Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.

Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.

8. Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

Shall not all they know that work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?

9. Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

They have not called upon the Lord: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

10. Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, † consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.

For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; * but the Lord is his hope.

11. Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

17. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

I will extol thee, * O Lord, for thou hast upheld me. ‡
