Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
1Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
2Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
3Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
3My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
4Ab altitudine diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
4From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
5In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi caro.
5In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
6Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
6All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
7Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,
7They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
8pro nihilo salvos facies illos; in ira populos confringes.
8For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,
9Deus, vitam meam annuntiavi tibi; posuisti lacrimas meas in conspectu tuo, sicut et in promissione tua:
9I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
10tunc convertentur inimici mei retrorsum. In quacumque die invocavero te, ecce cognovi quoniam Deus meus es.
10Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
11In Deo laudabo verbum; in Domino laudabo sermonem. In Deo speravi: non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
11In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, quæ reddam, laudationes tibi:
12In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
13quoniam eripuisti animam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu, ut placeam coram Deo in lumine viventium.]
13Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
