KJV ¹ Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

VULC ¹ Ipsi David. [Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et omnia quæ intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.

KJV ² Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

VULC ² Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.

KJV ³ For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

VULC ³ Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis ;
qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas :

KJV ⁴ My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

VULC ⁴ qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam ;
qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus :

KJV ⁵ By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

VULC ⁵ qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum ;
renovabitur ut aquilæ juventus tua :

KJV ⁶ I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

VULC ⁶ faciens misericordias Dominus,
et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.

KJV ⁷ I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

VULC ⁷ Notas fecit vias suas Moysi ;
filiis Israël voluntates suas.

KJV ⁸ Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

VULC ⁸ Miserator et misericors Dominus :
longanimis, et multum misericors.

KJV ⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

VULC ⁹ Non in perpetuum irascetur,
neque in æternum comminabitur.

KJV ¹⁰ Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

VULC ¹⁰ Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis,
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.

KJV ¹¹ My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

VULC ¹¹ Quoniam secundum altitudinem cæli a terra,
corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se ;

KJV ¹² But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

VULC ¹² quantum distat ortus ab occidente,
longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

KJV ¹³ Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

VULC ¹³ Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum,
misertus est Dominus timentibus se.

KJV ¹⁴ For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

VULC ¹⁴ Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum ;
recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.

KJV ¹⁵ So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

VULC ¹⁵ Homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus ;
tamquam flos agri, sic efflorebit :

KJV ¹⁶ When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

VULC ¹⁶ quoniam spiritus pertransibit in illo, et non subsistet,
et non cognoscet amplius locum suum.

KJV ¹⁷ He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

VULC ¹⁷ Misericordia autem Domini ab æterno,
et usque in æternum super timentes eum.
Et justitia illius in filios filiorum,

KJV ¹⁸ This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

VULC ¹⁸ his qui servant testamentum ejus,
et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.

KJV ¹⁹ For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

VULC ¹⁹ Dominus in cælo paravit sedem suam,
et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.

KJV ²⁰ To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

VULC ²⁰ Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli ejus :
potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius,
ad audiendam vocem sermonum ejus.

KJV ²¹ To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

VULC ²¹ Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes ejus ;
ministri ejus, qui facitis voluntatem ejus.

KJV ²² When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

VULC ²² Benedicite Domino, omnia opera ejus :
in omni loco dominationis ejus,
benedic, anima mea, Domino.]

KJV ²³ He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

KJV ²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

KJV ²⁵ Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

KJV ²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

KJV ²⁷ But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

KJV ²⁸ The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
