NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Magistro chori. Filiorum Core. Maskil.
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 Deus, auribus nostris audivimus;
patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis
opus, quod operatus es in diebus eorum, in diebus antiquis.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 Tu manu tua gentes depulisti et plantasti illos,
afflixisti populos et dilatasti eos.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram,
et brachium eorum non salvavit eos;
sed dextera tua et brachium tuum
et illuminatio vultus tui,
quoniam complacuisti in eis.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Tu es rex meus et Deus meus,
qui mandas salutes Iacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 In te inimicos nostros proiecimus,
et in nomine tuo conculcavimus insurgentes in nos. -
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 Non enim in arcu meo sperabo,
et gladius meus non salvabit me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 Tu autem salvasti nos de affligentibus nos
et odientes nos confudisti.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 In Deo gloriabimur tota die
et in nomine tuo confitebimur in saeculum.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Nunc autem reppulisti et confudisti nos
et non egredieris, Deus, cum virtutibus nostris.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 Convertisti nos retrorsum coram inimicis nostris;
et, qui oderunt nos, diripuerunt sibi.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12 Dedisti nos tamquam oves ad vescendum
et in gentibus dispersisti nos.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 Vendidisti populum tuum sine lucro
nec ditior factus es in commutatione eorum.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris,
subsannationem et derisum his, qui sunt in circuitu nostro.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 Posuisti nos similitudinem in gentibus,
commotionem capitis in populis.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 Tota die verecundia mea contra me est,
et confusio faciei meae cooperuit me
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis,
a facie inimici et ultoris.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Haec omnia venerunt super nos, nec obliti sumus te
et inique non egimus in testamentum tuum.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 Et non recessit retro cor nostrum,
nec declinaverunt gressus nostri a via tua;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 sed humiliasti nos in loco vulpium
et operuisti nos umbra mortis.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Si obliti fuerimus nomen Dei nostri
et si expanderimus manus nostras ad deum alienum,
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 nonne Deus requiret ista?
Ipse enim novit abscondita cordis.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die,
aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Evigila, quare obdormis, Domine?
Exsurge et ne repellas in finem.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 Quare faciem tuam avertis,
oblivisceris inopiae nostrae et tribulationis nostrae?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra,
conglutinatus est in terra venter noster.
Exsurge, Domine, adiuva nos
et redime nos propter misericordiam tuam.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
