4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me [in music: “deliver me”] by thy strength.
Ecce Deus ádjuvat me, et Dóminus suscéptor est ánimæ meæ: avérte mala inimícis meis, et in veritáte tua dispérde illos, protéctor meus, Dómine. Ps. ibid. 3. Deus, in nómine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtúte tua líbera me

Judica me Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo, et doloso eripe me: quia tu es Deus meus, et fortitudo mea”Psalm 43:1-3 [Latin Vulgate: Psalm 42:1-3]
1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
1 Psalmus David. Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.
2 Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea: quare me repulisti? et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
3 Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua.
