Vers | English: King James Version | Latin: Vulgata Clementina |
1 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. | In finem. Psalmus David. Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem ? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me ? |
2 | They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. | Quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem ? |
3 | The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: | Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me ? |
4 | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? | Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte ; |
5 | For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. | nequando dicat inimicus meus : Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero ; |
6 | The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. | ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi ; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi. |
7 | Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. | |
8 | The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
