Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam.
1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2[Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4Misit de cælo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam,
4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo.
9When I cry unto thee , then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus:
10In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11quoniam magnificata est usque ad cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua.]
12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
