| 42 | 1 | A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man. | iudica me Deus et discerne causam meam a gente non sancta a viro doloso et iniquo salva me |
| 42 | 2 | For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me? | tu enim Deus fortitudo mea quare proiecisti me quare tristis incedo adfligente inimico |
| 42 | 3 | Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles. | mitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam ipsae ducent me et introducent ad montem sanctum tuum et ad tabernaculum tuum |
| 42 | 4 | And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth. | et introibo ad altare tuum ad Deum laetitiae et exultationis meae et confitebor tibi in cithara Deus Deus meus |
| 42 | 5 | 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? | quare incurvaris anima mea et quare conturbas me expecta Dominum quoniam adhuc confitebor ei salutibus vultus mei et Deo meo |
| 42 | 6 | Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God. | |
