Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.
1Psalmus cantici, in die sabbati.
2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
2[Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime:
3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
3ad annuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem,
4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
4in decachordo, psalterio; cum cantico, in cithara.
5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
5Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua; et in operibus manuum tuarum exsultabo.
6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
6Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine ! nimis profundæ factæ sunt cogitationes tuæ.
7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
7Vir insipiens non cognoscet, et stultus non intelliget hæc.
8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
8Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut fœnum, et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, ut intereant in sæculum sæculi:
9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
9tu autem Altissimus in æternum, Domine.
10For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10Quoniam ecce inimici tui, Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt; et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem.
11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
11Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum, et senectus mea in misericordia uberi.
12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
12Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos, et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea.
13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
13Justus ut palma florebit; sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur.
14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
14Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt.
15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
15Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi, et bene patientes erunt:
16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
16ut annuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster, et non est iniquitas in eo.]
