Deus, Deus meus es tu, * ad te de luce vígilo.
O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day.
Sitívit in te ánima mea, * te desiderávit caro mea.
For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
In terra desérta et árida et inaquósa, † sic in sancto appárui tibi, * ut vidérem virtútem tuam et glóriam tuam.
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas, * lábia mea laudábunt te.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
Sic benedícam te in vita mea * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea, * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
Cum memor ero tui super stratum meum, * in matutínis meditábor de te,
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
quia fuísti adiútor meus, * et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo.
because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
Adhæsit ánima mea post te, * me suscépit déxtera tua.
my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
[Ipsi vero in ruínam quæsiérunt ánimam meam, * introíbunt in inferióra terræ,
[But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
tradéntur in potestátem gládii, * partes vúlpium erunt.
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
Rex vero lætábitur in Deo; † gloriabúntur omnes, qui iúrant in eo, * quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua.]
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.]
