Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem. Intellectus David,
1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2cum venit Doëg Idumæus, et nuntiavit Sauli: Venit David in domum Achimelech.
2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3[Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate?
3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua; sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem; iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis; lingua dolosa.
6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7Propterea Deus destruet te in finem; evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo, et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8Videbunt justi, et timebunt; et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum; sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum, et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei; speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti; et exspectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.]
11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
