Parallel
Psalms 17
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
In finem. Puero Domini David, qui locutus est Domino verba cantici hujus, in die qua eripuit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum ejus, et de manu Saul, et dixit :
A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer—it comes from lips free of deceit.
Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea.
May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.
Dominus firmamentum meum, et refugium meum, et liberator meus. Deus meus adjutor meus, et sperabo in eum ; protector meus, et cornu salutis meæ, et susceptor meus.
You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
Laudans invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis, et torrentes iniquitatis conturbaverunt me.
My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
Dolores inferni circumdederunt me ; præoccupaverunt me laquei mortis.
I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
In tribulatione mea invocavi Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamavi : et exaudivit de templo sancto suo vocem meam ; et clamor meus in conspectu ejus introivit in aures ejus.
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.
Commota est, et contremuit terra ; fundamenta montium conturbata sunt, et commota sunt : quoniam iratus est eis.
Keep me as the apple of (note: Literally as the pupil, the daughter of) Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
Ascendit fumus in ira ejus, et ignis a facie ejus exarsit ; carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
Inclinavit cælos, et descendit, et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.
Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit ; volavit super pennas ventorum.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
Et posuit tenebras latibulum suum ; in circuitu ejus tabernaculum ejus, tenebrosa aqua in nubibus aëris.
like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus nubes transierunt ; grando et carbones ignis.
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
Et intonuit de cælo Dominus, et Altissimus dedit vocem suam : grando et carbones ignis.
from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.
Et misit sagittas suas, et dissipavit eos ; fulgura multiplicavit, et conturbavit eos.
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
Et apparuerunt fontes aquarum, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis terrarum, ab increpatione tua, Domine, ab inspiratione spiritus iræ tuæ.
—
Eripuit me de inimicis meis fortissimis, et ab his qui oderunt me. Quoniam confortati sunt super me ;
—
et retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum puritatem manuum mearum retribuet mihi :
—
Et retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum puritatem manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum ejus.
—
Deus meus, impolluta via ejus ; eloquia Domini igne examinata : protector est omnium sperantium in se.
—
et dedisti mihi protectionem salutis tuæ : et dextera tua suscepit me, et disciplina tua correxit me in finem, et disciplina tua ipsa me docebit.
—
Filii alieni mentiti sunt mihi, filii alieni inveterati sunt, et claudicaverunt a semitis suis.
—
Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et subdis populos sub me ; liberator meus de inimicis meis iracundis.
—
magnificans salutes regis ejus, et faciens misericordiam christo suo David, et semini ejus usque in sæculum.
