VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus.	1 A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your heritage; they have defiled your holy temple, have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2 Qui regis Israël, intende ; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare	2 They have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful for the beasts of the earth.
3 coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.	3 They have spilled their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and no one is left to bury them.
4 Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.	4 We have become the reproach of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
5 Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui ?	5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your rage keep burning like fire?
6 cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura ?	6 Pour out your wrath on nations that reject you, on kingdoms that do not call on your name,
7 Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.	7 For they have devoured Jacob, laid waste his home.
8 Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.	8 Do not hold past iniquities against us; may your compassion come quickly, for we have been brought very low.
9 Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti : ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.	9 Help us, God our savior, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, pardon our sins for your name's sake.
10 Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus ; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.	10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes make clear to the nations that you avenge the blood of your servants.
11 Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.	11 Let the groans of prisoners come before you; by your great power free those doomed to death.
12 Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.	12 Lord, inflict on our neighbors seven fold the disgrace they inflicted on you.
13 Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam ?	13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; through all ages we will declare your praise.
14 Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.
15 Deus virtutum, convertere, respice de cælo, et vide, et visita vineam istam :
16 et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.
17 Incensa igni et suffossa, ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt.
18 Fiat manus tua super virum dexteræ tuæ, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.
19 Et non discedimus a te : vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.
20 Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
