1 [In finem. Psalmus David.] Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me? 2 quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem? 3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me? 4 Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte; 5 nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero; 6 ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

Seigneur, combien de temps vas-tu m'oublier si complètement ? Combien de temps vas-tu cacher ton visage de moi ? Combien de temps devrai-je avoir peur en mon âme et être effrayé dans mon cœur chaque jour ? mais regarde et écoute-moi, Seigneur, mon Dieu ! Illumine mes yeux, que je ne m'endorme pas dans la mort, que mon ennemi ne se vante pas qu'il a été plus puissant que moi, et mon adversaire ne se réjouisse pas que je renonce. Mais j'espère que tu es si clément ; mon cœur se réjouit que tu aides si volontiers. Je chanterai le Seigneur pour le bien qu'il m'a fait.
