Richard Challoner, chapter summary ## Psalm 30 (Catholic Public Domain Version) 1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David according to an ecstasy. 2. In you, Lord, I have hoped; let me never be confounded. In your justice, deliver me. 3. Incline your ear to me. Hasten to rescue me. Be for me a protector God and a house of refuge, so as to accomplish my salvation. 4. For you are my strength and my refuge; and for the sake of your name, you will lead me and nourish me. 5. You will lead me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me. For you are my protector. 6. Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth. 7. You have hated those who practice emptiness to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord. 8. I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness. 9. And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place. 10. Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut. 11. For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed. 12. I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me. 13. I have become forgotten, like one dead to the heart. I have become like a damaged utensil. 14. For I have heard the harsh criticism of many who linger in the area. While assembled together against me in that place, they deliberated on how to take away my life. 15. But I have hoped in you, O Lord. I said, “You are my God.” 16. My fate is in your hands. Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who are persecuting me. 17. Shine your face upon your servant. Save me in your mercy. 18. Do not let me be confounded, Lord, for I have called upon you. Let the impious be ashamed and be drawn down into Hell. 19. May deceitful lips be silenced: those that speak iniquity against the just, in arrogance and in abusiveness. 20. How great is the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you keep hidden for those who fear you, which you have perfected for those who hope in you, in the sight of the sons of men. 21. You hide them in the concealment of your face, from the disturbance of men. You protect them in your tabernacle, from the contradiction of tongues. 22. Blessed is the Lord. For he has shown his wonderful mercy to me, in a fortified city. 23. But I said in the excess of my mind: “I have been cast away from the glance of your eyes.” And so, you heeded the voice of my prayer, while I was still crying out to you. 24. Love the Lord, all you his saints. For the Lord will require truth, and he will abundantly repay those who act with arrogance. 25. Act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all you who hope in the Lord. ## Psalm 30 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592) 1. In finem. Psalmus David, pro extasi. 2. In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in æternum: in justitia tua libera me. 3. Inclina ad me aurem tuam; accelera ut eruas me. Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in domum refugii, ut salvum me facias: 4. quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu; et propter nomen tuum deduces me et enutries me. 5. Educes me de laqueo hoc quem absconderunt mihi, quoniam tu es protector meus. 6. In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum; redemisti me, Domine Deus veritatis. 7. Odisti observantes vanitates supervacue; ego autem in Domino speravi. 8. Exsultabo, et lætabor in misericordia tua, quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam; salvasti de necessitatibus animam meam. 9. Nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici: statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos. 10. Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam tribulor; conturbatus est in ira oculus meus, anima mea, et venter meus. 11. Quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea, et anni mei in gemitibus. Infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea, et ossa mea conturbata sunt. 12. Super omnes inimicos meos factus sum opprobrium, et vicinis meis valde, et timor notis meis; qui videbant me foras fugerunt a me. 13. Oblivioni datus sum, tamquam mortuus a corde; factus sum tamquam vas perditum: 14. quoniam audivi vituperationem multorum commorantium in circuitu. In eo dum convenirent simul adversum me, accipere animam meam consiliati sunt. 15. Ego autem in te speravi, Domine; dixi: Deus meus es tu; 16. in manibus tuis sortes meæ: eripe me de manu inimicorum meorum, et a persequentibus me. 17. Illustra faciem tuam super servum tuum; salvum me fac in misericordia tua. 18. Domine, non confundar, quoniam invocavi te. Erubescant impii, et deducantur in infernum; 19. muta fiant labia dolosa, quæ loquuntur adversus justum iniquitatem, in superbia, et in abusione. 20. Quam magna multitudo dulcedinis tuæ, Domine, quam abscondisti timentibus te; perfecisti eis qui sperant in te in conspectu filiorum hominum! 21. Abscondes eos in abscondito faciei tuæ a conturbatione hominum; proteges eos in tabernaculo tuo, a contradictione linguarum. 22. Benedictus Dominus, quoniam mirificavit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita. 23. Ego autem dixi in excessu mentis meæ: Projectus sum a facie oculorum tuorum: ideo exaudisti vocem orationis meæ, dum clamarem ad te. 24. Diligite Dominum, omnes sancti ejus, quoniam veritatem requiret Dominus, et retribuet abundanter facientibus superbiam. 25. Viriliter agite, et confortetur cor vestrum, omnes qui speratis in Domino. ## Read at Mass (US) - Sat, Dec 26, 2026: St. Stephen, First Martyr — Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 31:3cd-4, 6 and 8ab, 16bc and 17 - Mon, Feb 1, 2027: Monday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time — Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 31:20, 21, 22, 23, 24 - Wed, Feb 24, 2027: Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent — Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 31:5-6, 14, 15-16 - Fri, Mar 26, 2027: Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion — Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 31:2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25 6 more dates through December 31, 2028, in the [liturgical calendar](https://blessbible.app/calendar/).
