Dominus Illuminatio Mea · Psalm 27 — Sacred Latin Chant for Refuge: The Lord Is My Light

Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea; quem timebo? "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" — Psalm 27 (Vulgate 26):1 Inside, it is always after midnight — come back whenever your night is long. ▶    / @sacrariumvotorum   Whom shall I fear — the question is asked once, and never answered. The psalm simply keeps singing as if it were already settled. — FULL LATIN TEXT Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. 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 adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo. Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae, ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus. Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui. In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis; cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino. Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te; miserere mei, et exaudi me. Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisivit te facies mea; faciem tuam, Domine, requiram. Ne avertas faciem tuam a me; ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adjutor meus esto; ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus. Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me; Dominus autem assumpsit me. Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua, et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos. Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me, quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi. Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium. Expecta Dominum, viriliter age, et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum. ENGLISH (Douay-Rheims) The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen. If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident. One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle. He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me. My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek. Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour. For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up. Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies. Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself. I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
