Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, pro octava. Psalmus David.
1For the Leader. A Psalm of David. In the LORD have I taken refuge; how say ye to my soul: 'Flee thou! to your mountain, ye birds'?
2[Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus, quoniam diminutæ sunt veritates a filiis hominum.
2For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum; labia dolosa, in corde et corde locuti sunt.
3When the foundations are destroyed, what hath the righteous wrought?
4Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa, et linguam magniloquam.
4The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD, His throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.
5Qui dixerunt: Linguam nostram magnificabimus; labia nostra a nobis sunt. Quis noster dominus est?
5The LORD trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.
6Propter miseriam inopum, et gemitum pauperum, nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus. Ponam in salutari; fiducialiter agam in eo.
6Upon the wicked He will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7Eloquia Domini, eloquia casta; argentum igne examinatum, probatum terræ, purgatum septuplum.
7For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.
8Tu, Domine, servabis nos, et custodies nos a generatione hac in æternum.
