§ The Book of Psalms 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?

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

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

2 quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

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

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

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

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