Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1In finem. Filiis Core ad intellectum.
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.
2[Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, et in diebus antiquis.
2We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.
3Manus tua gentes disperdidit, et plantasti eos; afflixisti populos, et expulisti eos.
3Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
4Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram, et brachium eorum non salvavit eos: sed dextera tua et brachium tuum, et illuminatio vultus tui, quoniam complacuisti in eis.
4For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.
5Tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus, qui mandas salutes Jacob.
5Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
6In te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu, et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.
6Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
7Non enim in arcu meo sperabo, et gladius meus non salvabit me:
7For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.
8salvasti enim nos de affligentibus nos, et odientes nos confudisti.
8But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.
9In Deo laudabimur tota die, et in nomine tuo confitebimur in sæculum.
9In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
10Nunc autem repulisti et confudisti nos, et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris.
10But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
11Avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros, et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi.
11Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
12Dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum, et in gentibus dispersisti nos.
12Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.
13Vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio, et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus eorum.
13Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
14Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris; subsannationem et derisum his qui sunt in circuitu nostro.
14Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
15Posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus; commotionem capitis in populis.
15Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.
16Tota die verecundia mea contra me est, et confusio faciei meæ cooperuit me:
16All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
17a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis, a facie inimici et persequentis.
17At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
18Hæc omnia venerunt super nos; nec obliti sumus te, et inique non egimus in testamento tuo.
18All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.
19Et non recessit retro cor nostrum; et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua:
19And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
20quoniam humiliasti nos in loco afflictionis, et cooperuit nos umbra mortis.
20For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.
21Si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri, et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum,
21If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
22nonne Deus requiret ista? ipse enim novit abscondita cordis. Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die; æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.
22Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23Exsurge; quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem.
23Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
24Quare faciem tuam avertis? oblivisceris inopiæ nostræ et tribulationis nostræ?
24Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
25Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra; conglutinatus est in terra venter noster.
25For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
26Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos, et redime nos propter nomen tuum.]
26Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
