Psalm 18 (19) (Bible or other Sacred Texts) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


1  [In finem. Psalmus David.]
2  Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.
3  Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
4  Non sunt loquelæ, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum.
5  In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
6  In sole posuit tabernaculum suum; et ipse tamquam sponsus
   procedens de thalamo suo. Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam;
7  a summo cælo egressio ejus. Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus;
   nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.
8  Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas;
   testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam præstans parvulis.
9  Justitiæ Domini rectæ, lætificantes corda;
   præceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.
10 Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in sæculum sæculi;
   judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa,
11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum,
   et dulciora super mel et favum.
12 Etenim servus tuus custodit ea; in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
13 Delicta quis intelligit? ab occultis meis munda me;
14 et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati,
   tunc immaculatus ero, et emundabor a delicto maximo.
15 Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei 
   in conspectu tuo semper. Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus.
