The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 Domine Deus meus es tu exaltabo te confitebor nomini tuo quoniam fecisti mirabilia cogitationes antiquas fideles amen
1
LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.
2 quia posuisti civitatem in tumulum urbem fortem in ruinam domum alienorum ut non sit civitas et in sempiternum non aedificetur
2
You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
3 super hoc laudabit te populus fortis civitas gentium robustarum timebit te
3
Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you.
4 quia factus es fortitudo pauperi fortitudo egeno in tribulatione sua spes a turbine umbraculum ab aestu spiritus enim robustorum quasi turbo inpellens parietem
4
You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall
5 sicut aestum in siti tumultum alienorum humiliabis et quasi calore sub nube torrente propaginem fortium marcescere facies
5
and like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled.
6 et faciet Dominus exercituum omnibus populis in monte hoc convivium pinguium convivium vindemiae pinguium medullatorum vindemiae defecatae
6
On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines.
7 et praecipitabit in monte isto faciem vinculi conligati super omnes populos et telam quam orditus est super universas nationes
7
On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
8 praecipitabit mortem in sempiternum et auferet Dominus Deus lacrimam ab omni facie et obprobrium populi sui auferet de universa terra quia Dominus locutus est
8
he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.
9 et dicet in die illa ecce Deus noster iste expectavimus eum et salvabit nos iste Dominus sustinuimus eum exultabimus et laetabimur in salutari eius
9
In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”
10 quia requiescet manus Domini in monte isto et triturabitur Moab sub eo sicuti teruntur paleae in plaustro
10
The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 et extendet manus suas sub eo sicut extendit natans ad natandum et humiliabit gloriam eius cum adlisione manuum eius
11
They will stretch out their hands in it, as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim. God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands.
12 et munimenta sublimium murorum tuorum concident et humiliabuntur et detrahentur in terram usque ad pulverem
12
He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.
