Original Text
Dominus illuminatio mea
et salus mea,
quem timebo?
Dominus protector vitae meae,
a quo trepidabo?
Dum appropiant
super me nocentes
ut edant carnes meas
qui tribulant me inimici mei
ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt
si consistant adversum me castra
non timebit cor meum
si exsurgat aversum me proelium
in hoc ego sperabo. |
English Translation
God is my light
and my salvation,
whom should I fear?
God is the fortress of my life,
whom should I dread?
When the wicked
advance against me
to devour my flesh
they, my opponents,
my enemies are the ones
who stumble and fall
though an army
pitch camp against me,
my heart will not fear. |
