## Psalm 27 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
2. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3. Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.
4. Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.
5. Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
6. Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
7. The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.
8. The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
9. O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.

## Psalm 27 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Psalmus ipsi David. Ad te, Domine, clamabo; Deus meus, ne sileas a me: nequando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.
2. Exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ dum oro ad te; dum extollo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
3. Ne simul trahas me cum peccatoribus, et cum operantibus iniquitatem ne perdas me; qui loquuntur pacem cum proximo suo, mala autem in cordibus eorum.
4. Da illis secundum opera eorum, et secundum nequitiam adinventionum ipsorum. Secundum opera manuum eorum tribue illis; redde retributionem eorum ipsis.
5. Quoniam non intellexerunt opera Domini, et in opera manuum ejus destrues illos, et non ædificabis eos.
6. Benedictus Dominus, quoniam exaudivit vocem deprecationis meæ.
7. Dominus adjutor meus et protector meus; in ipso speravit cor meum, et adjutus sum: et refloruit caro mea, et ex voluntate mea confitebor ei.
8. Dominus fortitudo plebis suæ, et protector salvationum christi sui est.
9. Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hæreditati tuæ; et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum.
