KJV ¹ Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

VULC ¹ Psalmus David. [Dixit Dominus Domino meo :
Sede a dextris meis,
donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.

WLC ¹ לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְ֝הִלָּתִ֗י אַֽל־ תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃

dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.

in splendoribus sanctorum :
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

Tu es sacerdos in æternum
secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

confregit in die iræ suæ reges.

conquassabit capita in terra multorum.

KJV ⁷ When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

VULC ⁷ De torrente in via bibet ;
propterea exaltabit caput.]
