Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
1I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to 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 a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
3Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
3He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to 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 the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
5Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
5Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
6Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?
6Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
7Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
7Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
8In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
8I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”
9Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?
9I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
10Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
10I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
11Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.
11Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
12For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
13Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
13Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
14Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
14Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
