Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 119)Latin text 1 Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me. 2 Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa. 3 Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam? 4 Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis. 5 Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! habitavi cum habitantibus 6 multum incola fuit anima mea. 7 Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus; cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text 1 When I was in trouble I called upon the Lord: and he heard me. 2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips: and from a deceitful tongue. 3 What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false tongue: even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals. 4 Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech: and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar. 5 My soul hath long dwelt among them: that are enemies unto peace. 6 I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof: they make them ready to battle. |
