Psalmus - caput 142

1 Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom, filius ejus. Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia.

2 Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.

3 Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam, humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscuris, sicut mortuos sæculi.

4 Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus; in me turbatum est cor meum.

5 Memor fui dierum antiquorum: meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis, in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.

6 Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.

7 Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.

8 Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam.

9 Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine; ad te confugi.

10 Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam.

11 Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me; in æquitate tua, educes de tribulatione animam meam;

12 et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos, et perdes omnes qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.

About Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was to become the Catholic Church's officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible during the 16th century, and is still used fundamentally in the Latin Church to this day.

The translation was largely the work of Jerome, who in 382 had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina ("Old Latin") Gospels then in use by the Roman Church. Jerome, on his own initiative, extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible and once published, the new version became widely adopted and over succeeding centuries eventually eclipsed the Vetus Latina, so that by the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the appellation of versio vulgata (the "version commonly used") or vulgata for short.

The Catholic Church affirmed the Vulgate as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), though there was no authoritative edition at that time. The Clementine edition of the Vulgate of 1592 became the standard Bible text of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and remained so until 1979 when the Nova Vulgata was promulgated.
