The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent
1
Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence--
2 sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur
2
As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil-- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt
3
When You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te
4
For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits 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 meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned-- In these ways we continue; And we need to 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
But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken 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
And there is no one who calls on Your name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us, And have consumed us because of our iniquities.
8 et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos
8
But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are 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 furious, O Lord, Nor remember iniquity forever; Indeed, please look--we all are Your people!
10 civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata
10
Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, 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 beautiful temple, Where our fathers praised You, Is burned up with fire; And all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
12
Will You restrain Yourself because of these things, O Lord? Will You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
