Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. David.
1Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2[Salvum me fac, Deus, quoniam intraverunt aquæ usque ad animam meam.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3Infixus sum in limo profundi et non est substantia. Veni in altitudinem maris, et tempestas demersit me.
3But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4Laboravi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ; defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
4Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him!
5Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei qui oderunt me gratis. Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei injuste; quæ non rapui, tunc exsolvebam.
5A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6Deus, tu scis insipientiam meam; et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita.
6God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7Non erubescant in me qui exspectant te, Domine, Domine virtutum; non confundantur super me qui quærunt te, Deus Israël.
7God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.
8Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium; operuit confusio faciem meam.
8The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis, et peregrinus filiis matris meæ.
9You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10Quoniam zelus domus tuæ comedit me, et opprobria exprobrantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
10Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11Et operui in jejunio animam meam, et factum est in opprobrium mihi.
11The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium; et factus sum illis in parabolam.
12“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13Adversum me loquebantur qui sedebant in porta, et in me psallebant qui bibebant vinum.
13while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14Ego vero orationem meam ad te, Domine; tempus beneplaciti, Deus. In multitudine misericordiæ tuæ, exaudi me in veritate salutis tuæ.
14When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15Eripe me de luto, ut non infigar; libera me ab iis qui oderunt me, et de profundis aquarum.
15The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16Non me demergat tempestas aquæ, neque absorbeat me profundum, neque urgeat super me puteus os suum.
16Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17Exaudi me, Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua; secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum respice in me.
17The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18Et ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo; quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me.
18You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19Intende animæ meæ, et libera eam; propter inimicos meos, eripe me.
19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
20Tu scis improperium meum, et confusionem meam, et reverentiam meam;
20God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21in conspectu tuo sunt omnes qui tribulant me. Improperium exspectavit cor meum et miseriam: et sustinui qui simul contristaretur, et non fuit; et qui consolaretur, et non inveni.
21But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22Et dederunt in escam meam fel, et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto.
22The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23Fiat mensa eorum coram ipsis in laqueum, et in retributiones, et in scandalum.
23that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24Obscurentur oculi eorum, ne videant, et dorsum eorum semper incurva.
24They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25Effunde super eos iram tuam, et furor iræ tuæ comprehendat eos.
25The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
26Fiat habitatio eorum deserta, et in tabernaculis eorum non sit qui inhabitet.
26“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27Quoniam quem tu percussisti persecuti sunt, et super dolorem vulnerum meorum addiderunt.
27There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28Appone iniquitatem super iniquitatem eorum, et non intrent in justitiam tuam.
28Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29Deleantur de libro viventium, et cum justis non scribantur.
29Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings will bring presents to you.
30Ego sum pauper et dolens; salus tua, Deus, suscepit me.
30Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31Laudabo nomen Dei cum cantico, et magnificabo eum in laude:
31Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32et placebit Deo super vitulum novellum, cornua producentem et ungulas.
32Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— Selah—
33Videant pauperes, et lætentur; quærite Deum, et vivet anima vestra:
33to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34quoniam exaudivit pauperes Dominus, et vinctos suos non despexit.
34Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35Laudent illum cæli et terra; mare, et omnia reptilia in eis.
35You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
36Quoniam Deus salvam faciet Sion, et ædificabuntur civitates Juda, et inhabitabunt ibi, et hæreditate acquirent eam.
