Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
1Intellectus Asaph. [Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ?
2But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
2Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
3For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem: quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto !
4They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
4Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ; posuerunt signa sua, signa:
5They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
5et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
6Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
6exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.
7From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
7Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
8They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
8Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
9They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
9Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius.
10So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
10Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem?
11The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
11Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?
12Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
12Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula: operatus est salutem in medio terræ.
13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
13Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.
14For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
14Tu confregisti capita draconis; dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum.
15If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
15Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.
16When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
16Tuus est dies, et tua est nox; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.
17until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
17Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ; æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.
18Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
18Memor esto hujus: inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.
19How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
19Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.
20Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
20Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum.
21When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
21Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.
22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
22Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die.
23Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
23Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum: superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.]
24You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
