Psalmorum 35
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem. Servo Domini ipsi David.
1Plead my cause , O LORD , with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2[Dixit injustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos ejus.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu ejus, ut inveniatur iniquitas ejus ad odium.
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4Verba oris ejus iniquitas, et dolus; noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo; astitit omni viæ non bonæ: malitiam autem non odivit.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them .
6Domine, in cælo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7Justitia tua sicut montes Dei; judicia tua abyssus multa. Homines et jumenta salvabis, Domine,
7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam, Deus. Filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuæ, et torrente voluptatis tuæ potabis eos:
9And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD : it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10quoniam apud te est fons vitæ, et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
10All my bones shall say, LORD , who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11Prætende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et justitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde.
11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12Non veniat mihi pes superbiæ, et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem; expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.]
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
