The Latin Vulgate VUL
American Standard Version ASV
1 spiritus meus adtenuabitur dies mei breviabuntur et solum mihi superest sepulchrum
1
My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is [ready] for me.
2 non peccavi et in amaritudinibus moratur oculus meus
2
Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.
3 libera me et pone iuxta te et cuiusvis manus pugnet contra me
3
Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?
4 cor eorum longe fecisti a disciplina et propterea non exaltabuntur
4
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
5 praedam pollicetur sociis et oculi filiorum eius deficient
5
He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 posuit me quasi in proverbium vulgi et exemplum sum coram eis
6
But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.
7 caligavit ab indignatione oculus meus et membra mea quasi in nihili redacta sunt
7
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.
8 stupebunt iusti super hoc et innocens contra hypocritam suscitabitur
8
Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
9 et tenebit iustus viam suam et mundis manibus addet fortitudinem
9
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
10 igitur vos omnes convertimini et venite et non inveniam in vobis ullum sapientem
10
But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.
11 dies mei transierunt cogitationes meae dissipatae sunt torquentes cor meum
11
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
12 noctem verterunt in diem et rursum post tenebras spero lucem
12
They change the night into day: The light, [say they], is near unto the darkness.
13 si sustinuero infernus domus mea est in tenebris stravi lectulum meum
13
If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
14 putredini dixi pater meus es mater mea et soror mea vermibus
14
If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister;
15 ubi est ergo nunc praestolatio mea et patientiam meam quis considerat
15
Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 in profundissimum infernum descendent omnia mea putasne saltim ibi erit requies mihi
16
It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.
