World English Bible
1In finem. Psalmus David,
1The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
3[Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
3Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
4Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me.
4He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
5“Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
6The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.
7Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum, et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
7“Hear, my people, and I will speak. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.
8I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
9I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
10Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
10For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
11I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
12Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
13Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.
14Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
15Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.
15Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
16Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ, et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
16But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
17since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
18Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis.
18When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
19Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
19“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
20Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.
20You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
21Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.]
21You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
