Clementine Vulgate 1598

Exspectabam eum qui salvum me fecit a pusillanimitate spiritus, et tempestate.

Car il m’a délivré de toute détresse, et mon œil a vu [son plaisir] en mes ennemis.

Nebo z ssoužení všelikého vytrhl mne Bůh, nýbrž i pomstu nad nepřátely mými vidělo oko mé.

I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.

I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.

thi det frier mig ud af al Nød; mit Øje skuer med Fryd mine Fjender!

Car il me délivre de toute détresse, Et mes yeux se réjouissent à la vue de mes ennemis.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.

I waited for him that should deliver me From distress of spirit and tempest.

כִּ֣י מִכָּל־צָ֭רָה הִצִּילָ֑נִי וּ֝בְאֹיְבַ֗י רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינִֽי׃

προσεδεχόμην τὸν σῴζοντά με, ἀπὸ ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ ἀπὸ καταιγίδος.
