Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,
1Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3[Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
3For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
4Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
5Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
5You, LORD God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
6They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
7Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
8But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
9Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
10My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
11Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
12For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
13Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
14In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.]
14At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
