Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam

Language: Latin

Our translations: FRE

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.

Psaume 43 (42)

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

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 !
