King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1O LORD , thou hast searched me, and known me .
1In finem. Psalmus David.
2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
2[Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
3Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant prælia.
4For there is not a word in my tongue, but , lo, O LORD , thou knowest it altogether.
4Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
5Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
6absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
7Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meæ.
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .
8Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meæ, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
9Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
10Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
11Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem dejicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee .
12Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum injustum mala capient in interitu.
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
13Cognovi quia faciet Dominus judicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum.
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
14Verumtamen justi confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.]
15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
