Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus.
1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
2[Qui regis Israël, intende; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare
2They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.
3They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.
4Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
4We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui?
5How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?
6cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?
6Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.
7Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.
7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.
9Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti: ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.
9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.
10Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.
10Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.
11Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.
11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;
12Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.
12And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.
13Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?
13So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever; we will tell of Thy praise to all generations.
14Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.
