World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
1In finem. Psalmus David.
2In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
2[In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?
3For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
3Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:
4The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
4quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?
5His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
5Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in cælo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt; palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.
6He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
6Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
7Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.
8He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
8Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit: æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.]
9He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
