VULC ³ [Quid gloriaris in malitia,
qui potens es in iniquitate ?

KJV ⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.

lingua dolosa.

et super eum ridebunt, et dicent :

sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum,
et prævaluit in vanitate sua.

KJV ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

VULC ¹⁰ Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei ;
speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.

KJV ¹⁹ Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
