Psalmorum 12
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem. Psalmus David. [Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;
4who have said, “With our tongue we will 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;
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign 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 LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
