The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent
1
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!
2 sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur
2
As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!
3 cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt
3
For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
4 a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te
4
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
5 occurristi laetanti et facienti iustitiam in viis tuis recordabuntur tui ecce tu iratus es et peccavimus in ipsis fuimus semper et salvabimur
5
You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How then can we be saved?
6 et facti sumus ut inmundus omnes nos quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae et cecidimus quasi folium universi et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos
6
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
7 non est qui invocet nomen tuum qui consurgat et teneat te abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et adlisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae
7
No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to our sins.
8 et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos
8
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
9 ne irascaris Domine satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos
9
Do not be angry beyond measure, LORD; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.
10 civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata
10
Your sacred cities have become a wasteland; even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri facta est in exustionem ignis et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas
11
Our holy and glorious temple, where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire, and all that we treasured lies in ruins.
12 numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
12
After all this, LORD, will you hold yourself back? Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
