9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David.
2 Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine ; intellige clamorem meum.
3 Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.
4 Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine : mane exaudies vocem meam.
5 Mane astabo tibi, et videbo quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
6 Neque habitabit juxta te malignus, neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.
7 Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem ; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.
8 Ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ introibo in domum tuam ; adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.
9 Domine, deduc me in justitia tua : propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.
10 Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas ; cor eorum vanum est.
11 Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum ; linguis suis dolose agebant : judica illos, Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis ; secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te, Domine.
12 Et lætentur omnes qui sperant in te ; in æternum exsultabunt, et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes qui diligunt nomen tuum,
13 quoniam tu benedices justo. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
