| Vers | English: King James Version | Latin: Vulgata Clementina |
| 1 | Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. | In finem, pro Maëleth intelligentiæ. David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo : Non est Deus. |
| 2 | Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. | Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus ; non est qui faciat bonum. |
| 3 | Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. | Deus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum. |
| 4 | Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. | Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt ; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. |
| 5 | God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. | Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis ? |
| 6 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: | Deum non invocaverunt ; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent : confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos. |
| 7 | Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. | Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël ? Cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël. |
| 8 | But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. | |
| 9 | I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. |
