World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
1In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.
2Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
2[Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.
3Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
3Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.
4Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
4Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.
5They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
5Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
6Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
6nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
7They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
7Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:
8They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
8quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:
9We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
9quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.
10How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
10Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:
11Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
11et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]
12Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
