Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
1In finem. Psalmus David. [Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
2quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
3usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”
4Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;
5“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
5nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;
6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.
6ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]
7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.
