Psalmorum 12
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem. Psalmus David. [Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
1Help, LORD ; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD ; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
