Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
1Intellectus Ethan Ezrahitæ.
2Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
2[Misericordias Domini in æternum cantabo; in generationem et generationem annuntiabo veritatem tuam in ore meo.
3For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.
3Quoniam dixisti: In æternum misericordia ædificabitur in cælis; præparabitur veritas tua in eis.
4I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
4Disposui testamentum electis meis; juravi David servo meo:
5set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
5Usque in æternum præparabo semen tuum, et ædificabo in generationem et generationem sedem tuam.
6You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
6Confitebuntur cæli mirabilia tua, Domine; etenim veritatem tuam in ecclesia sanctorum.
7Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
7Quoniam quis in nubibus æquabitur Domino; similis erit Deo in filiis Dei?
8You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.
8Deus, qui glorificatur in consilio sanctorum, magnus et terribilis super omnes qui in circuitu ejus sunt.
9My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.
9Domine Deus virtutum, quis similis tibi? potens es, Domine, et veritas tua in circuitu tuo.
10Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah.
10Tu dominaris potestati maris; motum autem fluctuum ejus tu mitigas.
11Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
11Tu humiliasti, sicut vulneratum, superbum; in brachio virtutis tuæ dispersisti inimicos tuos.
12Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
12Tui sunt cæli, et tua est terra: orbem terræ, et plenitudinem ejus tu fundasti;
13But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
13aquilonem et mare tu creasti. Thabor et Hermon in nomine tuo exsultabunt:
14LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
14tuum brachium cum potentia. Firmetur manus tua, et exaltetur dextera tua:
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
15justitia et judicium præparatio sedis tuæ: misericordia et veritas præcedent faciem tuam.
16Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
16Beatus populus qui scit jubilationem: Domine, in lumine vultus tui ambulabunt,
17They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
17et in nomine tuo exsultabunt tota die, et in justitia tua exaltabuntur.
18You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
18Quoniam gloria virtutis eorum tu es, et in beneplacito tuo exaltabitur cornu nostrum.
