The Latin Vulgate VUL
King James Version w/ Apocrypha KJVA
1 spiritus meus adtenuabitur dies mei breviabuntur et solum mihi superest sepulchrum
1
My breath is corrupt , my days are extinct , the graves are ready for me.
2 non peccavi et in amaritudinibus moratur oculus meus
2
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation ?
3 libera me et pone iuxta te et cuiusvis manus pugnet contra me
3
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he 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 speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail .
6 posuit me quasi in proverbium vulgi et exemplum sum coram eis
6
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
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 astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 et tenebit iustus viam suam et mundis manibus addet fortitudinem
9
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 igitur vos omnes convertimini et venite et non inveniam in vobis ullum sapientem
10
But as for you all, do ye return , and come now : for I cannot find one 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 is short because of darkness.
13 si sustinuero infernus domus mea est in tenebris stravi lectulum meum
13
If I wait , the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 putredini dixi pater meus es mater mea et soror mea vermibus
14
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
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 in profundissimum infernum descendent omnia mea putasne saltim ibi erit requies mihi
16
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
