Dominus iustorum salus
The Lord is the salvation of the righteous
Gustastis quoniam dulcis Dominus (1 Petr 2, 3).
Taste how sweet the Lord is (1 Petr 2, 3).
Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore, * semper laus eius in ore meo.
I want to bless the Lord at all times; His praise will evermore be in my mouth.
In Dómino gloriábitur ánima mea, * áudiant mansuéti et læténtur.
In the Lord my soul will glory: let the meek hearken and rejoice
Magnificáte Dóminum mecum, * et exaltémus nomen eius in idípsum.
Exalt the Lord with me, together let us celebrate His name!
Exquisívi Dóminum, et exaudívit me * et ex ómnibus terróribus meis erípuit me.
I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and He delivered me from all my fears.
Respícite ad eum, et illuminámini * et fácies vestræ non confundéntur.
When one looks to Him, one is radiant with Joy, and the face is not covered with shame.
Iste pauper clamávit, † et Dóminus exaudívit eum * et de ómnibus tribulatiónibus eius salvávit eum.
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him from all his anguish.
Vallábit ángelus Dómini in circúitu timéntes eum * et erípiet eos.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He saves them.
Gustáte et vidéte quóniam suávis est Dóminus; * beátus vir, qui sperat in eo.
Taste and behold how good the Lord is! Happy is the man who puts his refuge in himself!
Timéte Dóminum, sancti eius, * quóniam non est inópia timéntibus eum.
Fear the Lord, thou His saints, for there is no need for those who fear Him.
Dívites eguérunt et esuriérunt, * inquiréntes autem Dóminum non defícient omni bono.
The rich have been in scarcity and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good.
Veníte, fílii, audíte me: * timórem Dómini docébo vos.
Come, my sons, hearken unto me, and I will teach thou the fear of the Lord.
Quis est homo, qui vult vitam, * díligit dies, ut vídeat bonum?
What man is there who loves life, who desires long days to enjoy happiness?
Próhibe línguam tuam a malo, * et lábia tua ne loquátur dolum.
Preserve thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from deceitful words;
Divérte a malo et fac bonum, * inquíre pacem et perséquere eam.
depart from evil and do good, seek peace, and pursue it.
Oculi Dómini super iustos, * et aures eius in clamórem eórum.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous; and his ears are attentive to their cries.
Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala, * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil; to cut off their memory from the earth.
Clamavérunt, et Dóminus exaudívit * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, and He delivers them from all their anguish.
Iuxta est Dóminus iis, qui contríto sunt corde, * et confráctos spíritu salvábit.
the Lord is near unto the brokenhearted, He saves those whose spirits are cast down.
Multæ tribulatiónes iustórum, * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
Many are the misfortunes of the righteous, but from all the Lord delivers him.
Custódit ómnia ossa eórum, * unum ex his non conterétur.
He keepeth all his bones, none of them will be broken.
Interfíciet peccatórem malítia, * et, qui odérunt iustum, puniéntur.
Evil kills the wicked, and the enemies of the righteous are punished.
Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum, * et non puniéntur omnes, qui sperant in eo.
the Lord delivers the souls of his servants, and all who take refuge in him are not punished.
