PSALMVS XI — SALVVM ME FAC

LATINE
Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus: quoniam diminutae sunt veritates a filiis hominum.
Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum: labia dolosa, in corde et corde locuti sunt.
Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa, et linguam magniloquam.
Qui dixerunt: Linguam nostram magnificabimus, labia nostra a nobis sunt, quis noster Dominus est?
Propter miseriam inopum, et gemitum pauperum nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus. Ponam in salutari; fiducialiter agam in eo.
Eloquia Domini, eloquia casta: argentum igne examinatum, probatum terrae purgatum septuplum.
Tu, Domine, servabis nos: et custodies nos a generatione hac in aeternum.
In circuitu impii ambulant: secundum altitudinem tuam multiplicasti filios hominum.
ENGLISH
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.
