Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:
1Ipsi David. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
2I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.
2adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
3In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.
3In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
4May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
4Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terræ, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
5And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
5Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
6For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.
6quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
7If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.
7Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
8The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
8Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in sæculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.]
