King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
1In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
2[Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
3Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
3Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
4My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
4Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
5Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
5In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
6Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
7Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
7Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
8pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
9Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
10tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
11In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
12For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
12In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
13But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
13quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.]
14We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
