Psalms 101
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord. | Oratio pauperis, cum anxius fuerit, et in conspectu Domini effuderit precem suam. |
| 2 | Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee. | Domine, exaudi orationem meam, et clamor meus ad te veniat. |
| 3 | Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily. | Non avertas faciem tuam a me: in quacumque die tribulor, inclina ad me aurem tuam; in quacumque die invocavero te, velociter exaudi me. |
| 4 | For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire. | Quia defecerunt sicut fumus dies mei, et ossa mea sicut cremium aruerunt. |
| 5 | I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread. | Percussus sum ut foenum, et aruit cor meum, quia oblitus sum comedere panem meum. |
| 6 | Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh. | A voce gemitus mei adhaesit os meum carni meae. |
| 7 | I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house. | Similis factus sum pellicano solitudinis; factus sum sicut nycticorax in domicilio. |
| 8 | I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop. | Vigilavi, et factus sum sicut passer solitarius in tecto. |
| 9 | All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me. | Tota die exprobrabant mihi inimici mei, et qui laudabant me adversum me iurabant: |
| 10 | For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. | quia cinerem tamquam panem manducabam, et potum meum cum fletu miscebam, |
| 11 | Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down. | a facie irae et indignationis tuae: quia elevans allisisti me. |
| 12 | My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass. | Dies mei sicut umbra declinaverunt, et ego sicut foenum arui. |
| 13 | But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations. | Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanes, et memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem. |
| 14 | Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come. | Tu exsurgens misereberis Sion, quia tempus miserendi eius, quia venit tempus: |
| 15 | For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof. | quoniam placuerunt servis tuis lapides eius, et terrae eius miserebuntur. |
| 16 | And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. | Et timebunt gentes nomen tuum, Domine, et omnes reges terrae gloriam tuam: |
| 17 | For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory. | quia aedificavit Dominus Sion, et videbitur in gloria sua. |
| 18 | He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition. | Respexit in orationem humilium et non sprevit precem eorum. |
| 19 | Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord: | Scribantur haec in generatione altera, et populus qui creabitur laudabit Dominum. |
| 20 | Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth. | Quia prospexit de excelso sancto suo; Dominus de caelo in terram aspexit: |
| 21 | That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain: | ut audiret gemitus compeditorum; ut solveret filios interemptorum: |
| 22 | That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem; | ut annuntient in Sion nomen Domini, et laudem eius in Ierusalem: |
| 23 | When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord. | in conveniendo populos in unum, et reges, ut serviant Domino. |
| 24 | He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days. | Respondit ei in via virtutis suae: Paucitatem dierum meorum nuntia mihi: |
| 25 | Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation. | ne revoces me in dimidio dierum meorum, in generationem et generationem anni tui. |
| 26 | In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands. | Initio tu, Domine, terram fundasti, et opera manuum tuarum sunt caeli. |
| 27 | They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. | Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanes; et omnes sicut vestimentum veterascent. Et sicut opertorium mutabis eos, et mutabuntur; |
| 28 | But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail. | tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient. |
| 29 | The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever. | Filii servorum tuorum habitabunt, et semen eorum in saeculum dirigetur. |
