Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
1In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
2He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
2[Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
3He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
3Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
4Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
4Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
5Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
5Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
6Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
6Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?
7Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:
7Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
8I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
8In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
9I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
9Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?
10I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
10Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
11O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
11Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.
12For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
12In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
13Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
14May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
14Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
15May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
