World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
1In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
2He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
2[Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.
3He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
3Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.
4Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
4Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.
5Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
5Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.
6Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
6Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus?
7Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
7Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.
8I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”
8In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.
9I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
9Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat?
10I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
10Etenim homo pacis meæ in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem.
11Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
11Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis.
12For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
12In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.
13Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
13Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum.
14Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
14Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a sæculo et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.]
15Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
