Deus, in nomine tuo. A prayer for help in distress.

 1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,

 2 When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
cum venissent Ziphaei, et dixissent ad Saul : Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?

 3 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.

 4 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.

 5 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.

 6 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.

 7 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
Averte mala inimicis meis; et in veritate tua disperde illos.

 8 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.

 9 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
