Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
1Oratio David. [Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis.
2My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
2De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant æquitates.
3As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
3Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa in me iniquitas.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
4Ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego custodivi vias duras.
5The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
5Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
6Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea.
7I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
7Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te.
8I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8A resistentibus dexteræ tuæ custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
9a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt;
10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
10adipem suum concluserunt: os eorum locutum est superbiam.
11You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
11Projicientes me nunc circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram.
