Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
1Locutus est autem David Domino verba carminis hujus in die qua liberavit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum suorum, et de manu Saul.
2He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
2Et ait: [Dominus petra mea, et robur meum, et salvator meus.
3My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
3Deus fortis meus: sperabo in eum; scutum meum, et cornu salutis meæ: elevator meus, et refugium meum; salvator meus: de iniquitate liberabis me.
4I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4Laudabilem invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
5Quia circumdederunt me contritiones mortis: torrentes Belial terruerunt me.
6The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
6Funes inferni circumdederunt me: prævenerunt me laquei mortis.
7In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
7In tribulatione mea invocabo Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamabo: et exaudiet de templo suo vocem meam, et clamor meus veniet ad aures ejus.
8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
8Commota est et contremuit terra; fundamenta montium concussa sunt, et conquassata: quoniam iratus est eis.
9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
9Ascendit fumus de naribus ejus, et ignis de ore ejus vorabit: carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
10Inclinavit cælos, et descendit: et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
11He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
11Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit: et lapsus est super pennas venti.
12He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
12Posuit tenebras in circuitu suo latibulum, cribrans aquas de nubibus cælorum.
13From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
13Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus, succensi sunt carbones ignis.
14The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
14Tonabit de cælo Dominus, et excelsus dabit vocem suam.
15He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
15Misit sagittas et dissipavit eos; fulgur, et consumpsit eos.
16The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
16Et apparuerunt effusiones maris, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis ab increpatione Domini, ab inspiratione spiritus furoris ejus.
17He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
17Misit de excelso, et assumpsit me, et extraxit me de aquis multis.
18He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
18Liberavit me ab inimico meo potentissimo, et ab his qui oderant me: quoniam robustiores me erant.
19They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19Prævenit me in die afflictionis meæ, et factus est Dominus firmamentum meum.
20He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
20Et eduxit me in latitudinem: liberavit me, quia complacui ei.
21The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
21Retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam: et secundum munditiam manuum mearum reddet mihi.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22Quia custodivi vias Domini, et non egi impie a Deo meo.
23For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23Omnia enim judicia ejus in conspectu meo, et præcepta ejus non amovi a me.
24And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
24Et ero perfectus cum eo, et custodiam me ab iniquitate mea.
25So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
25Et restituet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum munditiam manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum suorum.
26To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26Cum sancto sanctus eris, et cum robusto perfectus.
27to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
27Cum electo electus eris, et cum perverso perverteris.
28You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
28Et populum pauperem salvum facies: oculisque tuis excelsos humiliabis.
29For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
29Quia tu lucerna mea, Domine, et tu, Domine, illuminabis tenebras meas.
30For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
30In te enim curram accinctus: in Deo meo transiliam murum.
31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31Deus, immaculata via ejus; eloquium Domini igne examinatum: scutum est omnium sperantium in se.
32For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32Quis est Deus præter Dominum, et quis fortis præter Deum nostrum?
33God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
33Deus qui accinxit me fortitudine, et complanavit perfectam viam meam.
34He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
34Coæquans pedes meos cervis, et super excelsa mea statuens me;
35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35docens manus meas ad prælium, et componens quasi arcum æreum brachia mea.
36You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
36Dedisti mihi clypeum salutis tuæ, et mansuetudo tua multiplicavit me.
37You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
37Dilatabis gressus meos subtus me, et non deficient tali mei.
38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38Persequar inimicos meos, et conteram, et non convertar donec consumam eos.
39I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
39Consumam eos et confringam, ut non consurgant: cadent sub pedibus meis.
40You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
40Accinxisti me fortitudine ad prælium: incurvasti resistentes mihi subtus me.
41You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
41Inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum; odientes me, et disperdam eos.
42They looked, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
42Clamabunt, et non erit qui salvet; ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos.
43I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
43Delebo eos ut pulverem terræ; quasi lutum platearum comminuam eos atque confringam.
44You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
44Salvabis me a contradictionibus populi mei; custodies me in caput gentium: populus quem ignoro serviet mihi.
45Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
45Filii alieni resistent mihi; auditu auris obedient mihi.
46Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
46Filii alieni defluxerunt, et contrahentur in angustiis suis.
47The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
47Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus, et exaltabitur Deus fortis salutis meæ.
48the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
48Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et dejicis populos sub me.
49who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
49Qui educis me ab inimicis meis, et a resistentibus mihi elevas me: a viro iniquo liberabis me.
50Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
50Propterea confitebor tibi, Domine, in gentibus, et nomini tuo cantabo:
51Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
51magnificans salutes regis sui, et faciens misericordiam christo suo David, et semini ejus in sempiternum.]
