Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.
1Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2[Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
12Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine:
