KJV ⁵ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

VULC ⁵ quando erat Omnipotens mecum,
et in circuitu meo pueri mei :

KJV ⁶ When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

VULC ⁶ quando lavabam pedes meos butyro,
et petra fundebat mihi rivos olei :

KJV ⁷ When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

VULC ⁷ quando procedebam ad portam civitatis,
et in platea parabant cathedram mihi.

KJV ⁸ The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.

VULC ⁸ Videbant me juvenes, et abscondebantur :
et senes assurgentes stabant.

KJV ⁹ The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

VULC ⁹ Principes cessabant loqui,
et digitum superponebant ori suo.

KJV ¹⁰ The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

VULC ¹⁰ Vocem suam cohibebant duces,
et lingua eorum gutturi suo adhærebat.

KJV ¹¹ When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

VULC ¹¹ Auris audiens beatificabat me,
et oculus videns testimonium reddebat mihi :

KJV ¹² Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

VULC ¹² eo quod liberassem pauperem vociferantem,
et pupillum cui non esset adjutor.

KJV ¹³ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

VULC ¹³ Benedictio perituri super me veniebat,
et cor viduæ consolatus sum.

KJV ¹⁴ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

VULC ¹⁴ Justitia indutus sum,
et vestivi me, sicut vestimento et diademate, judicio meo.

KJV ¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

VULC ¹⁵ Oculus fui cæco, et pes claudo.

KJV ¹⁶ I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

VULC ¹⁶ Pater eram pauperum,
et causam quam nesciebam diligentissime investigabam.
