Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus.
1God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2[Qui regis Israël, intende; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare
2They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
3coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.
3They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui?
5How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?
6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.
7for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
8Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti: ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.
9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
10Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.
10Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
11Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.
11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
12Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.
12Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
13Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?
13So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
14Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.
