1¤ Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.2Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.3For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,4To shoot in secret the undefiled.5They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?6They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:7And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:8And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;9And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God, and understood his doings.10The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. Of the captivity. . .That is, the people of the captivity of Babylon. This is not in the Hebrew, but is found in the ancient translation of the Septuagint.1¤ A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.2O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.3The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.4Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,5Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.6Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:7Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,8And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.9Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.10Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.11Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.12The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,13The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.

Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection.1¤ Shout with joy to God, all the earth,2Sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.3Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.4Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.5Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.6Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.7Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.8O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.9Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:10For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.11Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:12Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.13I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,14Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.15I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.17I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.18If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.19Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.20Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
