KJV ¹ Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

VULC ¹ In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.

KJV ² Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

VULC ² [Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus,
et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.

KJV ³ The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

VULC ³ Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem,
et de viris sanguinum salva me.

KJV ⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

VULC ⁴ Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam ;
irruerunt in me fortes.

KJV ⁵ Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

VULC ⁵ Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine ;
sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.

KJV ⁶ Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

VULC ⁶ Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide :
et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël,
intende ad visitandas omnes gentes :
non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.

KJV ⁷ Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

VULC ⁷ Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes :
et circuibunt civitatem.

KJV ⁸ As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

VULC ⁸ Ecce loquentur in ore suo,
et gladius in labiis eorum : quoniam quis audivit ?

KJV ⁹ Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

VULC ⁹ Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos ;
ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.

KJV ¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

VULC ¹⁰ Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam,
quia, Deus, susceptor meus es :

KJV ¹¹ So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

VULC ¹¹ Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.

VULC ¹² Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos :
ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei.
Disperge illos in virtute tua,
et depone eos, protector meus, Domine :

VULC ¹³ delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum ;
et comprehendantur in superbia sua.
Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur

VULC ¹⁴ in consummatione :
in ira consummationis, et non erunt.
Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ.

VULC ¹⁵ Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes :
et circuibunt civitatem.

VULC ¹⁶ Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum ;
si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.

VULC ¹⁷ Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam,
et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam :
quia factus es susceptor meus,
et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ.

VULC ¹⁸ Adjutor meus, tibi psallam,
quia Deus susceptor meus es ;
Deus meus, misericordia mea.]
