NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Magistro chori. David, servi Domini,
qui locutus est ad Dominum verba huius cantici,
quando Dominus eum liberaverat
e potestate omnium inimicorum suorum
1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 et e manu Saul. Dixit igitur:
Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 Domine, firmamentum meum et refugium meum et liberator meus;
Deus meus, adiutor meus, et sperabo in eum;
protector meus et cornu salutis meae et susceptor meus.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Laudabilem invocabo Dominum,
et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 Circumdederunt me fluctus mortis,
et torrentes Belial conturbaverunt me;
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 funes inferni circumdederunt me,
praeoccupaverunt me laquei mortis.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 In tribulatione mea invocavi Dominum
et ad Deum meum clamavi;
exaudivit de templo suo vocem meam,
et clamor meus in conspectu eius introivit in aures eius.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 Commota est et contremuit terra;
fundamenta montium concussa sunt
et commota sunt, quoniam iratus est.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 Ascendit fumus de naribus eius,
et ignis de ore eius devorans;
carbones succensi processerunt ab eo.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 Inclinavit caelos et descendit,
et caligo sub pedibus eius.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 Et ascendit super cherub et volavit,
ferebatur super pennas ventorum.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 Et posuit tenebras latibulum suum,
in circuitu eius tabernaculum eius,
tenebrosa aqua, nubes aeris.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 Prae fulgore in conspectu eius nubes transierunt,
grando et carbones ignis.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Et intonuit de caelo Dominus,
et Altissimus dedit vocem suam:
grando et carbones ignis.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Et misit sagittas suas et dissipavit eos,
fulgura iecit et conturbavit eos.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 Et apparuerunt fontes aquarum,
et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis terrarum
ab increpatione tua, Domine,
ab inspiratione spiritus irae tuae.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 Misit de summo et accepit me
et assumpsit me de aquis multis;
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 eripuit me de inimicis meis fortissimis
et ab his, qui oderunt me,
quoniam confortati sunt super me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 Oppugnaverunt me in die afflictionis meae,
et factus est Dominus fulcimentum meum;
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 et eduxit me in latitudinem,
salvum me fecit, quoniam voluit me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 Et retribuet mihi Dominus secundum iustitiam meam
et secundum puritatem manuum mearum reddet mihi,
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 quia custodivi vias Domini
nec impie recessi a Deo meo.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Quoniam omnia iudicia eius in conspectu meo,
et iustitias eius non reppuli a me;
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 et fui immaculatus cum eo
et observavi me ab iniquitate.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Et retribuit mihi Dominus secundum iustitiam meam
et secundum puritatem manuum mearum
in conspectu oculorum eius.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 Cum sancto sanctus eris
et cum viro innocente innocens eris
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 et cum electo electus eris
et cum perverso callidus eris.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 Quoniam tu populum humilem salvum facies
et oculos superborum humiliabis.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 Quoniam tu accendis lucernam meam, Domine;
Deus meus illuminat tenebras meas.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 Quoniam in te aggrediar hostium turmas
et in Deo meo transiliam murum.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 Deus, impolluta via eius,
eloquia Domini igne examinata;
protector est omnium sperantium in se.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 Quoniam quis Deus praeter Dominum?
Aut quae munitio praeter Deum nostrum?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 Deus, qui praecinxit me virtute
et posuit immaculatam viam meam;
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 qui perfecit pedes meos tamquam cervorum
et super excelsa statuit me;
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 qui docet manus meas ad proelium,
et tendunt arcum aereum brachia mea.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Et dedisti mihi scutum salutis tuae,
et dextera tua suscepit me,
et exauditio tua magnificavit me.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 Dilatasti gressus meos subtus me,
et non sunt infirmata vestigia mea.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 Persequebar inimicos meos et comprehendebam illos
et non convertebar, donec deficerent.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 Confringebam illos, nec poterant stare,
cadebant subtus pedes meos.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Et praecinxisti me virtute ad bellum
et supplantasti insurgentes in me subtus me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 Et inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum
et odientes me disperdidisti.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Clamaverunt, nec erat qui salvos faceret,
ad Dominum, nec exaudivit eos.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Et comminui eos ut pulverem ante faciem venti,
ut lutum platearum contrivi eos.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 Eripuisti me de contradictionibus populi,
constituisti me in caput gentium.
Populus, quem non cognovi, servivit mihi,
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 in auditu auris oboedivit mihi.
Filii alieni blanditi sunt mihi,
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 filii alieni inveterati sunt,
contremuerunt in abditis suis.
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Adiutor meus,
et exaltetur Deus salutis meae.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 Deus, qui das vindictas mihi
et subdis populos sub me,
liberator meus de inimicis meis iracundis;
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 et ab insurgentibus in me exaltas me,
a viro iniquo eripis me.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Propterea confitebor tibi in nationibus, Domine,
et nomini tuo psalmum dicam,
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
51 magnificans salutes regis sui
et faciens misericordiam christo suo
David et semini eius usque in saeculum.
