The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 You who sit down in the High God's presence, spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,
1
psalmus cantici in die sabbati
2 Say this: "God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!"
2
bonum est confiteri Domino et psallere nomini tuo Altissime
3 That's right - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards.
3
ad adnuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam per noctem
4 His huge outstretched arms protect you - under them you're perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm.
4
in decacordo psalterio cum cantico in cithara
5 Fear nothing - not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day,
5
quia delectasti me Domine in factura tua et in operibus manuum tuarum exultabo
6 Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon.
6
quam magnificata sunt opera tua Domine nimis profundae factae sunt cogitationes tuae
7 Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you.
7
vir insipiens non cognoscet et stultus non intelleget haec
8 You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses.
8
cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut faenum et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem ut intereant in saeculum %saeculi;
9 Yes, because God's your refuge, the High God your very own home,
9
tu autem Altissimus in aeternum Domine
10 Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door.
10
*quoniam ecce inimici tui Domine; quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem
11 He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.
11
et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum et senectus mea in misericordia uberi
12 If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.
12
et despexit oculus meus inimicis meis et insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea
13 You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path.
13
iustus ut palma florebit ut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur
14 "If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says God, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me.
14
plantati in domo Domini in atriis Dei nostri florebunt
15 Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.
15
adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi et bene patientes erunt
16 I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!"
16
ut adnuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster et non est iniquitas in eo
