Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
1In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,
2When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
2cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?
3Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
3[Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
4O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
4Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
5For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
5Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
6For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
6Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ.
7Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
7Averte mala inimicis meis; et in veritate tua disperde illos.
8I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
8Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est.
9For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
9Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.]
