World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
1In finem. Psalmus David.
2So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
2[Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.
3Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
3Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.
4So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
4Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,
5My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
5ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.
6when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
6Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos; dixerunt: Quis videbit eos?
7For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
7Scrutati sunt iniquitates; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,
8My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
8et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,
9But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
9et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
10et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.
11But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
11Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.]
