Psalmorum 44
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum. Canticum pro dilecto.
1We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2[Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. Lingua mea calamus scribæ velociter scribentis.
2You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
3Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.
3For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.
4God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
5Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende, prospere procede, et regna, propter veritatem, et mansuetudinem, et justitiam; et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.
5Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
6Sagittæ tuæ acutæ: populi sub te cadent, in corda inimicorum regis.
6For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; virga directionis virga regni tui.
7But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem; propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo lætitiæ, præ consortibus tuis.
8In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.
9Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis, a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te
9But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
10filiæ regum in honore tuo. Astitit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato, circumdata varietate.
10You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
11Audi, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam; et obliviscere populum tuum, et domum patris tui.
11You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12Et concupiscet rex decorem tuum, quoniam ipse est Dominus Deus tuus, et adorabunt eum.
12You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13Et filiæ Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur; omnes divites plebis.
13You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus, in fimbriis aureis,
14You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15circumamicta varietatibus. Adducentur regi virgines post eam; proximæ ejus afferentur tibi.
15All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16Afferentur in lætitia et exsultatione; adducentur in templum regis.
16at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17Pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii; constitues eos principes super omnem terram.
17All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
18Memores erunt nominis tui in omni generatione et generationem: propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.]
18Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
