Psalm 42: "Judica Me"

Psalm 42 "Judica Me" in English

I will go in to the altar of God: to God, Who giveth joy to my youth.

Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy;

deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

For Thou art, God, my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have conducted me and brought me unto Thy holy hill, and into Thy tabernacles.

And I will go in to the altar of God: to God Who giveth joy to my youth.

To Thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou disquiet me?

Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him, the salvation of my countenance and my God.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

I will go in to the altar of God: to God, Who giveth joy to my youth.

Psalm 42 "Judica Me" in Latin

Introibo ad altare Dei: ad Deum qui lætificat Juventutem meam. 

Judica me Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: 

ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me. 

Quia tu es Deus fortitudo mea: quare me repulisti, et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
Emitte lucem tuam, et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua. 

Et introibo ad altare Dei: ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam.

Confitebor tibi in cithara Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es anima mea, et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi: salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
 

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto; sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. 

Introibo ad altare Dei: ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam.
