The first book of Psalms, song 13, Vulgate and King James Version

Psalm 13

Vulgate

   1 Magistro chori. PSALMUS. David.
   2 Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? Usquequo avertes faciem tuam a me?
   3 Usquequo ponam consilia in anima mea, dolorem in corde meo per diem? Usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
   4 Respice et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne quando obdormiam in morte,
   5 ne quando dicat inimicus meus: "Praevalui adversus eum!"; neque exsultent, qui tribulant me, si motus fuero.
   6 Ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo; cantabo Domino, qui bona tribuit mihi.

King James Version

   To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
   1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
   2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
   3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
   4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
   5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
   6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
