Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2[Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
6quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
7Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
7My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
9Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
12Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.]
