12:1 In finem. Psalmus David. Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem ? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me ?

12:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

12:2 Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem ?

12:2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

12:3 Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me ?

12:3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

12:4 Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte ;

12:4 Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:

12:5 nequando dicat inimicus meus : Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero ;

12:5 Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved:

12:6 ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi ; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

12:6 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.
