Unto the end the Psalm of David.Vnto the end the pſalme of Dauid.In finem. Psalmus David.
2I TRUST in our Lord: how say ye to my soul: Pass over unto the mountain as a sparrow?I TRVST in our Lord: how ſay ye to my ſoule: Paſſe ouer vnto the mountayne as a ſparrow?In Domino confido ; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ : Transmigra in montem sicut passer ?
3For behold sinners have bent the bow, they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, that they may shoot in the dark, at them that be rectos: upright, righteous in heart : not correct nor the right hand of heart.For behold ſinners haue bent the bow, they haue prepared their arrowes in the quiuer, that they may ſhoote in the darke, at them that be right of hart.Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum ; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde :
4For they have destroyed the things, which thou didst perfecisti: perfect, complete, bring to full accomplishment : not the adjective flawless: but the just what hath he done?For they haue deſtroyed the thinges, which thou didſt perfite: but the iuſt what hath he done?quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt ; justus autem, quid fecit ?
5Our Lord is in his holy temple, our Lord his seat is in heaven. His eyes have respiciunt: regard, look upon with favour : not esteem or defer to unto the poor: his eyelids examine the sons of men.Our Lord is in his holie temple, our Lord his ſeate is in heauen. His eies haue reſpect vnto the poore: his eieliddes examine the ſonnes of men.Dominus in templo sancto suo ; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt ; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.
6Our Lord examineth the just, and the impious: but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.Our Lord examineth the iuſt, and the impious: but he that loueth iniquity, hateth his owne ſoule.Dominus interrogat justum et impium ; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
7He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone, and blast of storms the portion of their cup.He ſhal rayne ſnares vpon ſinners: fyre and brimſtone, and blaſt of ſtormes the portion of their cuppe.Pluet super peccatores laqueos ; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.
8Because our Lord is just and hath loved justice: his countenance hath seen æquitatem: uprightness, righteousness of heart : not fairness in the legal or financial sense.Becauſe our Lord is iuſt and hath loued iuſtice: his countenance hath ſeene equitie.Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit : æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.
