1 [Psalmus David.] Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me. 2 Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea: quare me repulisti? et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus? 3 Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua. 4 Et introibo ad altare Dei, ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam. Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus meus. 5 Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.

1 Juge-moi, Dieu, et plaide ma cause contre le peuple impie et délivre-moi des gens perfides et méchants. 2 Car tu es le Dieu de ma force ; pourquoi me repousses-tu ? Pourquoi me laisses-tu aller en deuil, quand l'ennemi m'oppresse ? 3 Envoie ta lumière et ta vérité, pour qu'elles me guident et me mènent à ta montagne sainte et à ta demeure, 4 pour que j'aille jusqu'à l'autel de Dieu, jusqu'à Dieu, qui est ma joie et mon bonheur, et toi mon Dieu ; sur ma harpe je te remercie, mon Dieu ! 5 Pourquoi t'affliges-tu, mon âme et es-tu si inquiète en moi ? Espère en Dieu ; car je le remercierai encore, car il est le salut de ma face et mon Dieu !
