Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
1Psalmus David. [Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.
2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
2Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
3Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
3Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
4Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.
5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
5Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
6Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.
7Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
7Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
8Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.
9For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
9Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.
10The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
10Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.
11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
11Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
12Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi.
13The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
13De cælo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum.
14From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
14De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram:
15He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
15qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.
16The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
16Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.
17Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
17Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.
18Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
18Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:
19To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
19ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.
20Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
20Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.
21For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.
21Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.
22Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
22Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.]
