Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
2[Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
3Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
5Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
6quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
7My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
7Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
8Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
9Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
10Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
11Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
