Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
1Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
2My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.
3Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
4Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
4In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
5et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
6Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
7Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
7In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
8Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?
9Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
9Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
10Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
12Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
