Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.
1Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
2[Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.
2Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
3Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.
3Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
5Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
5It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
6nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
6And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
7Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:
7They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
8quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:
8They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.
9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
11et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]
11Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
