Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ipsi David. [Judica, Domine, nocentes me; expugna impugnantes me.
1(34-1) A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. (34-2) I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2Apprehende arma et scutum, et exsurge in adjutorium mihi.
2(34-3) My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3Effunde frameam, et conclude adversus eos qui persequuntur me; dic animæ meæ: Salus tua ego sum.
3(34-4) O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.
4Confundantur et revereantur quærentes animam meam; avertantur retrorsum et confundantur cogitantes mihi mala.
4(34-5) I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5Fiant tamquam pulvis ante faciem venti, et angelus Domini coarctans eos.
5(34-6) They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.
6Fiat via illorum tenebræ et lubricum, et angelus Domini persequens eos.
6(34-7) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7Quoniam gratis absconderunt mihi interitum laquei sui; supervacue exprobraverunt animam meam.
7(34-8) The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
8Veniat illi laqueus quem ignorat, et captio quam abscondit apprehendat eum, et in laqueum cadat in ipsum.
8(34-9) O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
9Anima autem mea exsultabit in Domino, et delectabitur super salutari suo.
9(34-10) O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.
10Omnia ossa mea dicent: Domine, quis similis tibi? eripiens inopem de manu fortiorum ejus; egenum et pauperem a diripientibus eum.
10(34-11) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.
11Surgentes testes iniqui, quæ ignorabam interrogabant me.
11(34-12) Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12Retribuebant mihi mala pro bonis, sterilitatem animæ meæ.
12(34-13) Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?
13Ego autem, cum mihi molesti essent, induebar cilicio; humiliabam in jejunio animam meam, et oratio mea in sinu meo convertetur.
13(34-14) Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14Quasi proximum et quasi fratrem nostrum sic complacebam; quasi lugens et contristatus sic humiliabar.
14(34-15) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15Et adversum me lætati sunt, et convenerunt; congregata sunt super me flagella, et ignoravi.
15(34-16) The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.
16Dissipati sunt, nec compuncti; tentaverunt me, subsannaverunt me subsannatione; frenduerunt super me dentibus suis.
16(34-17) The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17Domine, quando respicies? Restitue animam meam a malignitate eorum; a leonibus unicam meam.
17(34-18) They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18Confitebor tibi in ecclesia magna; in populo gravi laudabo te.
18(34-19) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
19Non supergaudeant mihi qui adversantur mihi inique, qui oderunt me gratis, et annuunt oculis.
19(34-20) Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20Quoniam mihi quidem pacifice loquebantur; et in iracundia terræ loquentes, dolos cogitabant.
20(34-21) He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
21Et dilataverunt super me os suum; dixerunt: Euge, euge ! viderunt oculi nostri.
21(34-22) Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.
22Vidisti, Domine: ne sileas; Domine, ne discedas a me.
22(34-23) The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
23Exsurge et intende judicio meo, Deus meus; et Dominus meus, in causam meam.
