KJV ¹ And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

VULC ¹ Locutus est autem David Domino verba carminis hujus in die qua liberavit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum suorum, et de manu Saul.

KJV ² And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

VULC ² Et ait : [Dominus petra mea, et robur meum, et salvator meus.

KJV ³ The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

VULC ³ Deus fortis meus : sperabo in eum ;
scutum meum, et cornu salutis meæ :
elevator meus, et refugium meum ;
salvator meus : de iniquitate liberabis me.

KJV ⁴ I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

VULC ⁴ Laudabilem invocabo Dominum,
et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.

KJV ⁵ When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

VULC ⁵ Quia circumdederunt me contritiones mortis :
torrentes Belial terruerunt me.

KJV ⁶ The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

VULC ⁶ Funes inferni circumdederunt me :
prævenerunt me laquei mortis.

KJV ⁷ In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

VULC ⁷ In tribulatione mea invocabo Dominum,
et ad Deum meum clamabo :
et exaudiet de templo suo vocem meam,
et clamor meus veniet ad aures ejus.

KJV ⁸ Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

VULC ⁸ Commota est et contremuit terra ;
fundamenta montium concussa sunt, et conquassata :
quoniam iratus est eis.

KJV ⁹ There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

VULC ⁹ Ascendit fumus de naribus ejus,
et ignis de ore ejus vorabit :
carbones succensi sunt ab eo.

KJV ¹⁰ He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

VULC ¹⁰ Inclinavit cælos, et descendit :
et caligo sub pedibus ejus.

KJV ¹¹ And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

VULC ¹¹ Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit :
et lapsus est super pennas venti.

KJV ¹² And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

VULC ¹² Posuit tenebras in circuitu suo latibulum,
cribrans aquas de nubibus cælorum.

KJV ¹³ Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

VULC ¹³ Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus,
succensi sunt carbones ignis.

KJV ¹⁴ The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

VULC ¹⁴ Tonabit de cælo Dominus,
et excelsus dabit vocem suam.

KJV ¹⁵ And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

VULC ¹⁵ Misit sagittas et dissipavit eos ;
fulgur, et consumpsit eos.

KJV ¹⁶ And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

VULC ¹⁶ Et apparuerunt effusiones maris,
et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis
ab increpatione Domini,
ab inspiratione spiritus furoris ejus.

KJV ¹⁷ He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

VULC ¹⁷ Misit de excelso, et assumpsit me,
et extraxit me de aquis multis.

KJV ¹⁸ He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

VULC ¹⁸ Liberavit me ab inimico meo potentissimo,
et ab his qui oderant me :
quoniam robustiores me erant.

KJV ¹⁹ They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

VULC ¹⁹ Prævenit me in die afflictionis meæ,
et factus est Dominus firmamentum meum.

KJV ²⁰ He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

VULC ²⁰ Et eduxit me in latitudinem :
liberavit me, quia complacui ei.

KJV ²¹ The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

VULC ²¹ Retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam :
et secundum munditiam manuum mearum reddet mihi.

KJV ²² For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

VULC ²² Quia custodivi vias Domini,
et non egi impie a Deo meo.

KJV ²³ For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

VULC ²³ Omnia enim judicia ejus in conspectu meo,
et præcepta ejus non amovi a me.

KJV ²⁴ I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

VULC ²⁴ Et ero perfectus cum eo,
et custodiam me ab iniquitate mea.

KJV ²⁵ Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

VULC ²⁵ Et restituet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam,
et secundum munditiam manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum suorum.

KJV ²⁶ With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

VULC ²⁶ Cum sancto sanctus eris,
et cum robusto perfectus.

KJV ²⁷ With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

VULC ²⁷ Cum electo electus eris,
et cum perverso perverteris.

KJV ²⁸ And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

VULC ²⁸ Et populum pauperem salvum facies :
oculisque tuis excelsos humiliabis.

KJV ²⁹ For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

VULC ²⁹ Quia tu lucerna mea, Domine,
et tu, Domine, illuminabis tenebras meas.

KJV ³⁰ For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

VULC ³⁰ In te enim curram accinctus :
in Deo meo transiliam murum.

KJV ³¹ As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

VULC ³¹ Deus, immaculata via ejus ;
eloquium Domini igne examinatum :
scutum est omnium sperantium in se.

KJV ³² For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

VULC ³² Quis est Deus præter Dominum,
et quis fortis præter Deum nostrum ?

KJV ³³ God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

VULC ³³ Deus qui accinxit me fortitudine,
et complanavit perfectam viam meam.

KJV ³⁴ He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

VULC ³⁴ Coæquans pedes meos cervis,
et super excelsa mea statuens me ;

KJV ³⁵ He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

VULC ³⁵ docens manus meas ad prælium,
et componens quasi arcum æreum brachia mea.

KJV ³⁶ Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

VULC ³⁶ Dedisti mihi clypeum salutis tuæ,
et mansuetudo tua multiplicavit me.

KJV ³⁷ Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

VULC ³⁷ Dilatabis gressus meos subtus me,
et non deficient tali mei.

KJV ³⁸ I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

VULC ³⁸ Persequar inimicos meos, et conteram,
et non convertar donec consumam eos.

KJV ³⁹ And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

VULC ³⁹ Consumam eos et confringam, ut non consurgant :
cadent sub pedibus meis.

KJV ⁴⁰ For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

VULC ⁴⁰ Accinxisti me fortitudine ad prælium :
incurvasti resistentes mihi subtus me.

KJV ⁴¹ Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

VULC ⁴¹ Inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum ;
odientes me, et disperdam eos.

KJV ⁴² They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

VULC ⁴² Clamabunt, et non erit qui salvet ;
ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos.

KJV ⁴³ Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

VULC ⁴³ Delebo eos ut pulverem terræ ;
quasi lutum platearum comminuam eos atque confringam.

KJV ⁴⁴ Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

VULC ⁴⁴ Salvabis me a contradictionibus populi mei ;
custodies me in caput gentium :
populus quem ignoro serviet mihi.

KJV ⁴⁵ Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

VULC ⁴⁵ Filii alieni resistent mihi ;
auditu auris obedient mihi.

KJV ⁴⁶ Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

VULC ⁴⁶ Filii alieni defluxerunt,
et contrahentur in angustiis suis.

KJV ⁴⁷ The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

VULC ⁴⁷ Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus,
et exaltabitur Deus fortis salutis meæ.

KJV ⁴⁸ It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.

VULC ⁴⁸ Deus qui das vindictas mihi,
et dejicis populos sub me.

KJV ⁴⁹ And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

VULC ⁴⁹ Qui educis me ab inimicis meis,
et a resistentibus mihi elevas me :
a viro iniquo liberabis me.

KJV ⁵⁰ Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

VULC ⁵⁰ Propterea confitebor tibi, Domine, in gentibus,
et nomini tuo cantabo :

KJV ⁵¹ He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

VULC ⁵¹ magnificans salutes regis sui,
et faciens misericordiam christo suo David,
et semini ejus in sempiternum.]
