The Latin Vulgate VUL
New Century Version NCV
1 psalmus David cum esset in deserto Iudaeae
1
I find rest in God; only he can save me.
2 Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo sitivit in te anima mea quam multipliciter tibi caro mea
2
He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
3 in terra deserta et invia et inaquosa sic in sancto apparui tibi ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam
3
How long will you attack someone? Will all of you kill that person? Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?
4 quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te
4
They are planning to make that person fall. They enjoy telling lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.Selah
5 sic benedicam te in vita mea in nomine tuo levabo manus meas
5
I find rest in God; only he gives me hope.
6 sicut adipe et pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum
6
He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.
7 si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar in te
7
My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection.
8 quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo
8
People, trust God all the time. Tell him all your problems, because God is our protection.Selah
9 adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua
9
The least of people are only a breath, and even the greatest are just a lie. On the scales, they weigh nothing; together they are only a breath.
10 ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terrae
10
Do not trust in force. Stealing is of no use. Even if you gain more riches, don't put your trust in them.
11 tradentur in manus gladii partes vulpium erunt
11
God has said this, and I have heard it over and over: God is strong.
12 rex vero laetabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua
12
The Lord is loving. You reward people for what they have done. A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Judah.
