Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
1Psalmus ipsi David, quarta sabbati. [Deus ultionum Dominus; Deus ultionum libere egit.
2Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
2Exaltare, qui judicas terram; redde retributionem superbis.
3How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
3Usquequo peccatores, Domine, usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur;
4Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
4effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem; loquentur omnes qui operantur injustitiam?
5Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
5Populum tuum, Domine, humiliaverunt, et hæreditatem tuam vexaverunt.
6They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
6Viduam et advenam interfecerunt, et pupillos occiderunt.
7And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
7Et dixerunt: Non videbit Dominus, nec intelliget Deus Jacob.
8Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
8Intelligite, insipientes in populo; et stulti, aliquando sapite.
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
9Qui plantavit aurem non audiet? aut qui finxit oculum non considerat?
10He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
10Qui corripit gentes non arguet, qui docet hominem scientiam?
11The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
11Dominus scit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanæ sunt.
12Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
12Beatus homo quem tu erudieris, Domine, et de lege tua docueris eum:
13That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
13ut mitiges ei a diebus malis, donec fodiatur peccatori fovea.
14For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
14Quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam, et hæreditatem suam non derelinquet,
15Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
15quoadusque justitia convertatur in judicium: et qui juxta illam, omnes qui recto sunt corde.
16Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
16Quis consurget mihi adversus malignantes? aut quis stabit mecum adversus operantes iniquitatem?
17Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
17Nisi quia Dominus adjuvit me, paulominus habitasset in inferno anima mea.
18If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
18Si dicebam: Motus est pes meus: misericordia tua, Domine, adjuvabat me.
19According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
19Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo, consolationes tuæ lætificaverunt animam meam.
20Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
20Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitatis, qui fingis laborem in præcepto?
21They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
21Captabunt in animam justi, et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt.
22But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
22Et factus est mihi Dominus in refugium, et Deus meus in adjutorium spei meæ.
23And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
23Et reddet illis iniquitatem ipsorum, et in malitia eorum disperdet eos: disperdet illos Dominus Deus noster.]
