Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
1Ipsi David intellectus. [Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates, et quorum tecta sunt peccata.
2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
2Beatus vir cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum, nec est in spiritu ejus dolus.
3Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
3Quoniam tacui, inveteraverunt ossa mea, dum clamarem tota die.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
4Quoniam die ac nocte gravata est super me manus tua, conversus sum in ærumna mea, dum configitur spina.
5I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
5Delictum meum cognitum tibi feci, et injustitiam meam non abscondi. Dixi: Confitebor adversum me injustitiam meam Domino; et tu remisisti impietatem peccati mei.
6For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
6Pro hac orabit ad te omnis sanctus in tempore opportuno. Verumtamen in diluvio aquarum multarum, ad eum non approximabunt.
7Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
7Tu es refugium meum a tribulatione quæ circumdedit me; exsultatio mea, erue me a circumdantibus me.
8I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
8Intellectum tibi dabo, et instruam te in via hac qua gradieris; firmabo super te oculos meos.
9Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
9Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe, qui non approximant ad te.
10Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
10Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
11Lætamini in Domino, et exsultate, justi; et gloriamini, omnes recti corde.]
