Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
1Canticum graduum. [Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israël;
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
2sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea: etenim non potuerunt mihi.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
3Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
4Dominus justus concidit cervices peccatorum.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
5Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion.
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
6Fiant sicut fœnum tectorum, quod priusquam evellatur exaruit:
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
7de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.
8And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
8Et non dixerunt qui præteribant: Benedictio Domini super vos. Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.]
