Psalmorum 40
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
1I waited patiently for the LORD ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2[Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it , and fear, and shall trust in the LORD .
4Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them , they are more than can be numbered.
6Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?
9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD , thou knowest.
10Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.
11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD : let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
13Be pleased, O LORD , to deliver me: O LORD , make haste to help me.
14Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
