Psalm 42 (43)
Desiderium templi
Desire for the temple
Ego lux in mundum veni (Io 12, 46).
I am the light that has come into the world (Io 12, 46).
Iudica me, Deus, † et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta; * ab hómine iníquo et dolóso érue me.
Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
Quia tu es Deus refúgii mei; † quare me repulísti, * et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
For thee art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam; * ipsæ me dedúcant et addúcant in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernácula tua.
Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
Et introíbo ad altáre Dei, † ad Deum lætítiæ exsultatiónis meæ. * Confitébor tibi in cíthara, Deus, Deus meus.
And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?
To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.
Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
