Psalmus 138 (1,13)

Lord, * thou hast proved me, and known me. ‡

Quæ non repetitur in Psalmo

Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: * thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.

2. Intellexísti cogitatiónes meas de longe: * sémitam meam, et funículum meum investigásti.

Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: * my path and my life thou hast searched out.

3. Et omnes vias meas prævidísti: * quia non est sermo in lingua mea.

And thou hast foreseen all my ways: * for there is no speech on my tongue.

4. Ecce, Dómine, tu cognovísti ómnia novíssima, et antíqua: * tu formásti me, et posuísti super me manum tuam.

Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.

5. Mirábilis facta est sciéntia tua ex me: * confortáta est, et non pótero ad eam.

Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: * it is high, and I cannot reach to it.

6. Quo ibo a spíritu tuo? * et quo a fácie tua fúgiam?

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face?

7. Si ascéndero in cælum, tu illic es: * si descéndero in inférnum, ades.

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present.

8. Si súmpsero pennas meas dilúculo, * et habitávero in extrémis maris.

If I take my wings early in the morning, * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

9. Etenim illuc manus tua dedúcet me: * et tenébit me déxtera tua.

Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me.

10. Et dixi: Fórsitan ténebræ conculcábunt me: * et nox illuminátio mea in delíciis meis.

And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures.

11. Quia ténebræ non obscurabúntur a te, † et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: * sicut ténebræ ejus, ita et lumen ejus.

But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as the day: * the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.

12. Quia tu possedísti renes meos: * suscepísti me de útero matris meæ.

For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.

13. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

14. 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.

Lord, * thou hast proved me, and known me. ‡

Psalmus 138 (14,24)

My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.

3. Imperféctum meum vidérunt óculi tui, † et in libro tuo omnes scribéntur: * dies formabúntur, et nemo in eis.

Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: * days shall be formed, and no one in them.

4. Mihi autem nimis honorificáti sunt amíci tui, Deus: * nimis confortátus est principátus eórum.

I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: * I rose up and am still with thee.

6. Si occíderis, Deus, peccatóres: * viri sánguinum, declináte a me.

If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:

7. Quia dícitis in cogitatióne: * Accípient in vanitáte civitátes tuas.

Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.

8. Nonne qui odérunt te, Dómine, óderam? * et super inimícos tuos tabescébam?

Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: * and pined away because of thy enemies?

9. Perfécto ódio óderam illos: * et inimíci facti sunt mihi.

I have hated them with a perfect hatred: * and they are become enemies to me.
