Psalmus 26 (27)

1  [Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur]. 
   Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo?
   Dominus protector vitæ meæ: a quo trepidabo?
2  Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas,
   qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
3  Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum;
   si exsurgat adversum me prælium, in hoc ego sperabo.
4  Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram,
   ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitæ meæ;
   ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
5  Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo;
   in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui.
6  In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos.
   Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis;
   cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.
7  Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te;
   miserere mei, et exaudi me.
8  Tibi dixit cor meum: Exquisivit te facies mea;
   faciem tuam, Domine, requiram.
9  Ne avertas faciem tuam a me; ne declines in ira a servo tuo.
   Adjutor meus esto; ne derelinquas me, 
   neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus.
10 Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me;
   Dominus autem assumpsit me.
11 Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua,
   et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos.
12 Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me,
   quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui,
   et mentita est iniquitas sibi.
13 Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium.
14 Expecta Dominum, viriliter age:
   et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum.
