DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Psalms - 108

108:1  Unto the end, a psalm for David.

108:1  O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

108:1  In finem. Psalmus David.

108:2  O God, be not thou silent in my praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.

108:2  Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

108:2  Deus, laudem meam ne tacueris, quia os peccatoris et os dolosi super me apertum est.

108:3  They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.

108:3  I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

108:3  Locuti sunt adversum me lingua dolosa, et sermonibus odii circumdederunt me : et expugnaverunt me gratis.

108:4  Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.

108:4  For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

108:4  Pro eo ut me diligerent, detrahebant mihi ; ego autem orabam.

108:5  And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.

108:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

108:5  Et posuerunt adversum me mala pro bonis, et odium pro dilectione mea.

108:6  Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.

108:6  That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

108:6  Constitue super eum peccatorem, et diabolus stet a dextris ejus.

108:7  When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.

108:7  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

108:7  Cum judicatur, exeat condemnatus ; et oratio ejus fiat in peccatum.

108:8  May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.

108:8  Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

108:8  Fiant dies ejus pauci, et episcopatum ejus accipiat alter.

108:9  May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

108:9  Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

108:9  Fiant filii ejus orphani, et uxor ejus vidua.

108:10  Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.

108:10  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

108:10  Nutantes transferantur filii ejus et mendicent, et ejiciantur de habitationibus suis.

108:11  May the usurer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.

108:11  Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

108:11  Scrutetur fœnerator omnem substantiam ejus, et diripiant alieni labores ejus.

108:12  May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.

108:12  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

108:12  Non sit illi adjutor, nec sit qui misereatur pupillis ejus.

108:13  May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.

108:13  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

108:13  Fiant nati ejus in interitum ; in generatione una deleatur nomen ejus.

108:14  May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

108:14  In memoriam redeat iniquitas patrum ejus in conspectu Domini, et peccatum matris ejus non deleatur.

108:15  May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:

108:15  Fiant contra Dominum semper, et dispereat de terra memoria eorum :

108:16  because he remembered not to shew mercy,

108:16  pro eo quod non est recordatus facere misericordiam,

108:17  But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.

108:17  et persecutus est hominem inopem et mendicum, et compunctum corde, mortificare.

108:18  And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.

108:18  Et dilexit maledictionem, et veniet ei ; et noluit benedictionem, et elongabitur ab eo. Et induit maledictionem sicut vestimentum ; et intravit sicut aqua in interiora ejus, et sicut oleum in ossibus ejus.

108:19  May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.

108:19  Fiat ei sicut vestimentum quo operitur, et sicut zona qua semper præcingitur.

108:20  This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.

108:20  Hoc opus eorum qui detrahunt mihi apud Dominum, et qui loquuntur mala adversus animam meam.

108:21  But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me,

108:21  Et tu, Domine, Domine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum, quia suavis est misericordia tua.

108:22  For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.

108:22  Libera me, quia egenus et pauper ego sum, et cor meum conturbatum est intra me.

108:23  I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.

108:23  Sicut umbra cum declinat ablatus sum, et excussus sum sicut locustæ.

108:24  My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.

108:24  Genua mea infirmata sunt a jejunio, et caro mea immutata est propter oleum.

108:25  And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads.

108:25  Et ego factus sum opprobrium illis ; viderunt me, et moverunt capita sua.

108:26  Help me, O Lord my God; save me; according to thy mercy.

108:26  Adjuva me, Domine Deus meus ; salvum me fac secundum misericordiam tuam.

108:27  And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.

108:27  Et sciant quia manus tua hæc, et tu, Domine, fecisti eam.

108:28  They will curse and thou wilt bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.

108:28  Maledicent illi, et tu benedices : qui insurgunt in me confundantur ; servus autem tuus lætabitur.

108:29  Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.

108:29  Induantur qui detrahunt mihi pudore, et operiantur sicut diploide confusione sua.

108:30  I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.

108:30  Confitebor Domino nimis in ore meo, et in medio multorum laudabo eum :

108:31  Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors.

108:31  quia astitit a dextris pauperis, ut salvam faceret a persequentibus animam meam.
