The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 Domine Deus meus es tu exaltabo te confitebor nomini tuo quoniam fecisti mirabilia cogitationes antiquas fideles amen
1
O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 quia posuisti civitatem in tumulum urbem fortem in ruinam domum alienorum ut non sit civitas et in sempiternum non aedificetur
2
For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt.
3 super hoc laudabit te populus fortis civitas gentium robustarum timebit te
3
Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear 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
For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 sicut aestum in siti tumultum alienorum humiliabis et quasi calore sub nube torrente propaginem fortium marcescere facies
5
You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.
6 et faciet Dominus exercituum omnibus populis in monte hoc convivium pinguium convivium vindemiae pinguium medullatorum vindemiae defecatae
6
And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7 et praecipitabit in monte isto faciem vinculi conligati super omnes populos et telam quam orditus est super universas nationes
7
And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over 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, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For 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
And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."
10 quia requiescet manus Domini in monte isto et triturabitur Moab sub eo sicuti teruntur paleae in plaustro
10
For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11 et extendet manus suas sub eo sicut extendit natans ad natandum et humiliabit gloriam eius cum adlisione manuum eius
11
And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their pride Together with the trickery of their hands.
12 et munimenta sublimium murorum tuorum concident et humiliabuntur et detrahentur in terram usque ad pulverem
12
The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
