Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
1In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
2Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
2[Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
3at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
3Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
4My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
4Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
5Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
5In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
6I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
6Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
7How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
7Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
8I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
8pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
9O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
9Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
10Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
10tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
11Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
11In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
12For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
12In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
13But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
13quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.]
14We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
