10:1 In finem. Psalmus David.

10:1 Unto the end. A psalm to David.

10:2 In Domino confido ; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ : Transmigra in montem sicut passer ?

10:2 In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow.

10:3 Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum ; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde :

10:3 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

10:4 quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt ; justus autem, quid fecit ?

10:4 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?

10:5 Dominus in templo sancto suo ; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt ; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.

10:5 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

10:6 Dominus interrogat justum et impium ; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

10:6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.

10:7 Pluet super peccatores laqueos ; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

10:7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone, and storms of winds, shall be the portion of their cup.

10:8 Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit : æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.

10:8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
