The Latin Vulgate VUL
English Standard Version ESV
1 canticum graduum de profundis clamavi ad te Domine
1
“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say—
2 Domine exaudi vocem meam fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae
2
“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 si iniquitates observabis Domine Domine quis sustinebit
3
The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows. ”
4 quia apud te propitiatio est propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine sustinuit anima mea in verbum eius
4
The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 speravit anima mea in Domino
5
May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
6 a custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israhel in Domino
6
Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 quia apud Dominum misericordia et copiosa apud eum redemptio
7
with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8 et ipse redimet Israhel ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius
8
nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord! ”
