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 Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5 Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est ! habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar ;

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 Prayer

English 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.
