Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
1Locutus est autem David Domino verba carminis hujus in die qua liberavit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum suorum, et de manu Saul.
2and he said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
2Et ait: [Dominus petra mea, et robur meum, et salvator meus.
3God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.
3Deus fortis meus: sperabo in eum; scutum meum, et cornu salutis meæ: elevator meus, et refugium meum; salvator meus: de iniquitate liberabis me.
4I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4Laudabilem invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
5For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5Quia circumdederunt me contritiones mortis: torrentes Belial terruerunt me.
6The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.
6Funes inferni circumdederunt me: prævenerunt me laquei mortis.
7In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
7In tribulatione mea invocabo Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamabo: et exaudiet de templo suo vocem meam, et clamor meus veniet ad aures ejus.
8Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8Commota est et contremuit terra; fundamenta montium concussa sunt, et conquassata: quoniam iratus est eis.
9Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9Ascendit fumus de naribus ejus, et ignis de ore ejus vorabit: carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10Inclinavit cælos, et descendit: et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
11He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
11Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit: et lapsus est super pennas venti.
12He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
12Posuit tenebras in circuitu suo latibulum, cribrans aquas de nubibus cælorum.
13At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
13Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus, succensi sunt carbones ignis.
14The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
14Tonabit de cælo Dominus, et excelsus dabit vocem suam.
15He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.
15Misit sagittas et dissipavit eos; fulgur, et consumpsit eos.
16Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the LORD’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
16Et apparuerunt effusiones maris, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis ab increpatione Domini, ab inspiratione spiritus furoris ejus.
17He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
17Misit de excelso, et assumpsit me, et extraxit me de aquis multis.
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18Liberavit me ab inimico meo potentissimo, et ab his qui oderant me: quoniam robustiores me erant.
19They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19Prævenit me in die afflictionis meæ, et factus est Dominus firmamentum meum.
20He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20Et eduxit me in latitudinem: liberavit me, quia complacui ei.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
21Retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam: et secundum munditiam manuum mearum reddet mihi.
22For I have kept the LORD’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22Quia custodivi vias Domini, et non egi impie a Deo meo.
23For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
23Omnia enim judicia ejus in conspectu meo, et præcepta ejus non amovi a me.
24I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
24Et ero perfectus cum eo, et custodiam me ab iniquitate mea.
25Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
25Et restituet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum munditiam manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum suorum.
26With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
26Cum sancto sanctus eris, et cum robusto perfectus.
27With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
27Cum electo electus eris, et cum perverso perverteris.
28You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
28Et populum pauperem salvum facies: oculisque tuis excelsos humiliabis.
29For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.
29Quia tu lucerna mea, Domine, et tu, Domine, illuminabis tenebras meas.
30For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
30In te enim curram accinctus: in Deo meo transiliam murum.
31As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
31Deus, immaculata via ejus; eloquium Domini igne examinatum: scutum est omnium sperantium in se.
32For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God?
32Quis est Deus præter Dominum, et quis fortis præter Deum nostrum?
33God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
33Deus qui accinxit me fortitudine, et complanavit perfectam viam meam.
34He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
34Coæquans pedes meos cervis, et super excelsa mea statuens me;
35He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35docens manus meas ad prælium, et componens quasi arcum æreum brachia mea.
36You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.
36Dedisti mihi clypeum salutis tuæ, et mansuetudo tua multiplicavit me.
37You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
37Dilatabis gressus meos subtus me, et non deficient tali mei.
38I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
38Persequar inimicos meos, et conteram, et non convertar donec consumam eos.
39I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
39Consumam eos et confringam, ut non consurgant: cadent sub pedibus meis.
40For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40Accinxisti me fortitudine ad prælium: incurvasti resistentes mihi subtus me.
41You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41Inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum; odientes me, et disperdam eos.
42They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
42Clamabunt, et non erit qui salvet; ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos.
43Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
43Delebo eos ut pulverem terræ; quasi lutum platearum comminuam eos atque confringam.
44You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
44Salvabis me a contradictionibus populi mei; custodies me in caput gentium: populus quem ignoro serviet mihi.
45The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
45Filii alieni resistent mihi; auditu auris obedient mihi.
46The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.
46Filii alieni defluxerunt, et contrahentur in angustiis suis.
47The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
47Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus, et exaltabitur Deus fortis salutis meæ.
48even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,
48Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et dejicis populos sub me.
49who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
49Qui educis me ab inimicis meis, et a resistentibus mihi elevas me: a viro iniquo liberabis me.
50Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
50Propterea confitebor tibi, Domine, in gentibus, et nomini tuo cantabo:
51He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
51magnificans salutes regis sui, et faciens misericordiam christo suo David, et semini ejus in sempiternum.]
