Texts & translations
Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 101)Latin text 1 Oratio pauperis, cum anxius fuerit, et in conspectu Domini effuderit precem suam. 2 Domine, exaudi orationem meam, et clamor meus ad te veniat. 3 Non avertas faciem tuam a me: in quacumque die tribulor, inclina ad me aurem tuam; 4 Quia defecerunt sicut fumus dies mei, et ossa mea sicut cremium aruerunt. 5 Percussus sum ut foenum, et aruit cor meum, quia oblitus sum comedere panem meum. 6 A voce gemitus mei adhaesit os meum carni meae. 7 Similis factus sum pellicano solitudinis; factus sum sicut nycticorax in domicilio. 8 Vigilavi, et factus sum sicut passer solitarius in tecto. 9 Tota die exprobrabant mihi inimici mei, et qui laudabant me 10 quia cinerem tamquam panem manducabam, et potum meum cum fletu miscebam, 11 a facie irae et indignationis tuae: quia elevans allisisti me. 12 Dies mei sicut umbra declinaverunt, et ego sicut foenum arui. 13 Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanes, et memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem. 14 Tu exsurgens misereberis Sion, quia tempus miserendi ejus, 15 quoniam placuerunt servis tuis lapides ejus, et terrae ejus miserebuntur. 16 Et timebunt gentes nomen tuum, Domine, et omnes reges terrae gloriam tuam: 17 quia aedificavit Dominus Sion, et videbitur in gloria sua. 18 Respexit in orationem humilium et non sprevit precem eorum. 19 Scribantur haec in generatione altera, et populus qui creabitur laudabit 20 Quia prospexit de excelso sancto suo; Dominus de caelo in terram aspexit: 21 ut audiret gemitus compeditorum; ut solveret filios 22 ut annuntient in Sion nomen Domini, et laudem ejus in Jerusalem: 23 in conveniendo populos in unum, et reges, ut serviant Domino. 24 Respondit ei in via virtutis suae: Paucitatem dierum meorum nuntia mihi: 25 ne revoces me in dimidio dierum meorum, 26 Initio tu, Domine, terram fundasti, 27 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanes; et omnes sicut vestimentum veterascent. Et sicut opertorium mutabis eos, et mutabuntur; 28 tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient. 29 Filii servorum tuorum habitabunt, et semen eorum in saeculum dirigetur. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord. 1 Hear my prayer, O Lord: and let my crying come unto thee. 2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ear unto me 3 For my days are consumed away like smoke: and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand. 4 My heart is smitten down, and withered liked grass: so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 For the voice of my groaning: my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh. 6 I am become like a pelican in the wilderness: and like an owl that is in the desert. 7 I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow: that sitteth alone upon the house-top. 8 Mine enemies revile me all the day long: and they that are mad upon me 9 For I have eaten ashes as it were bread: and mingled my drink with weeping; 10 And that because of thine indignation and wrath: for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down. 11 My days are gone like a shadow: and I am withered like grass. 12 But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever: and thy remembrance throughout all generations. 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion: for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, 14 And why? thy servants think upon her stones: and it pitieth them to see her in the dust. 15 The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy majesty; 16 When the Lord shall build up Sion: and when his glory shall appear; 17 When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor destitute: and despiseth not their desire. 18 This shall be written for those that come after: and the people which shall be born shall praise 19 For he hath looked down from his sanctuary: out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth; 20 That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity: and deliver the children 21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion: and his worship at Jerusalem; 22 When the people are gathered together: and the kingdoms also, to serve the Lord. 23 He brought down my strength in my journey: and shortened my days. 24 But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age: 25 Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 27 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 28 The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight. |
