Psalmorum 49
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Psalmus Asaph. [Deus deorum Dominus locutus est, et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum.
1Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2Ex Sion species decoris ejus:
2Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3Deus manifeste veniet; Deus noster, et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu ejus exardescet; et in circuitu ejus tempestas valida.
3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4Advocabit cælum desursum, et terram, discernere populum suum.
4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5Congregate illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinant testamentum ejus super sacrificia.
5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6Et annuntiabunt cæli justitiam ejus, quoniam Deus judex est.
6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7Audi, populus meus, et loquar; Israël, et testificabor tibi: Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.
7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te; holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.
8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos, neque de gregibus tuis hircos:
9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10quoniam meæ sunt omnes feræ silvarum, jumenta in montibus, et boves.
10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11Cognovi omnia volatilia cæli, et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terræ et plenitudo ejus.
12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?
13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14Immola Deo sacrificium laudis, et redde Altissimo vota tua.
14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15Et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me.
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16Peccatori autem dixit Deus: Quare tu enarras justitias meas? et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?
16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17Tu vero odisti disciplinam, et projecisti sermones meos retrorsum.
17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo; et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19Os tuum abundavit malitia, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuæ ponebas scandalum.
20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
21Hæc fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis: arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.
