Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Canticum graduum. [Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israël;
1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
2sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea: etenim non potuerunt mihi.
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
3Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
4Dominus justus concidit cervices peccatorum.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
5Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
6Fiant sicut fœnum tectorum, quod priusquam evellatur exaruit:
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
7de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
8Et non dixerunt qui præteribant: Benedictio Domini super vos. Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.]
8And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
