Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem. Puero Domini David, qui locutus est Domino verba cantici hujus, in die qua eripuit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum ejus, et de manu Saul, et dixit:
1Hear, LORD, my righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2[Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea.
2Let my sentence come out of your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
3Dominus firmamentum meum, et refugium meum, et liberator meus. Deus meus adjutor meus, et sperabo in eum; protector meus, et cornu salutis meæ, et susceptor meus.
3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
4Laudans invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
4As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5Circumdederunt me dolores mortis, et torrentes iniquitatis conturbaverunt me.
5My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6Dolores inferni circumdederunt me; præoccupaverunt me laquei mortis.
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
7In tribulatione mea invocavi Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamavi: et exaudivit de templo sancto suo vocem meam; et clamor meus in conspectu ejus introivit in aures ejus.
7Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8Commota est, et contremuit terra; fundamenta montium conturbata sunt, et commota sunt: quoniam iratus est eis.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9Ascendit fumus in ira ejus, et ignis a facie ejus exarsit; carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
9from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10Inclinavit cælos, et descendit, et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
10They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit; volavit super pennas ventorum.
11They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12Et posuit tenebras latibulum suum; in circuitu ejus tabernaculum ejus, tenebrosa aqua in nubibus aëris.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus nubes transierunt; grando et carbones ignis.
13Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14Et intonuit de cælo Dominus, et Altissimus dedit vocem suam: grando et carbones ignis.
14from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15Et misit sagittas suas, et dissipavit eos; fulgura multiplicavit, et conturbavit eos.
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
16Et apparuerunt fontes aquarum, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis terrarum, ab increpatione tua, Domine, ab inspiratione spiritus iræ tuæ.
