Psalm 10, Catholic Public Domain Version
Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
In finem. Psalmus David.
- 2
I trust in the Lord. How can you say to my soul, “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”
In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?
- 3
For behold, the sinners have bent their bow. They have prepared their arrows in the quiver, so as to shoot arrows in the dark at the upright of heart.
Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:
- 4
For they have destroyed the things that you have completed. But what has the just one done?
quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?
- 5
The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look upon the poor. His eyelids question the sons of men.
Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.
- 6
The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.
Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
- 7
He will rain down snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and windstorms will be the portion of their cup.
Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.
- 8
For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice. His countenance has beheld equity.
Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.
