| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty: | Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino: Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer. Confessionem et decorem induisti, |
| 2 | And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: | amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens caelum sicut pellem, |
| 3 | Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds. | qui tegis aquis superiora eius: qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum; qui ambulas super pennas ventorum: |
| 4 | Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire. | qui facis angelos tuos spiritus, et ministros tuos ignem urentem. |
| 5 | Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever. | Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam: non inclinabitur in saeculum saeculi. |
| 6 | The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand. | Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus eius; super montes stabunt aquae. |
| 7 | At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear. | Ab increpatione tua fugient; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt. |
| 8 | The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them. | Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis. |
| 9 | Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth. | Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram. |
| 10 | Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass. | Qui emittis fontes in convallibus; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquae. |
| 11 | All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst. | Potabunt omnes bestiae agri; expectabunt onagri in siti sua. |
| 12 | Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices. | Super ea volucres caeli habitabunt; de medio petrarum dabunt voces. |
| 13 | Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works: | Rigans montes de superioribus suis; de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra: |
| 14 | Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: | producens foenum iumentis, et herbam servituti hominum, ut educas panem de terra, |
| 15 | And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart. | et vinum laetificet cor hominis: ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet. |
| 16 | The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: | Saturabuntur ligna campi, et cedri Libani quas plantavit: |
| 17 | There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron. | illic passeres nidificabunt: herodii domus dux est eorum. |
| 18 | The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins. | Montes excelsi cervis; petra refugium herinaciis. |
| 19 | He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. | Fecit lunam in tempora; sol cognovit occasum suum. |
| 20 | Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about: | Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox; in ipsa pertransibunt omnes bestiae silvae: |
| 21 | The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God. | catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant, et quaerant a Deo escam sibi. |
| 22 | The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens. | Ortus est sol, et congregati sunt, et in cubilibus suis collocabuntur. |
| 23 | Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening. | Exibit homo ad opus suum, et ad operationem suam usque ad vesperum. |
| 24 | How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches. | Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine! omnia in sapientia fecisti; impleta est terra possessione tua. |
| 25 | So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great. | Hoc mare magnum et spatiosum manibus; illic reptilia quorum non est numerus: animalia pusilla cum magnis. |
| 26 | There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. | Illic naves pertransibunt; draco iste quem formasti ad illudendum ei. |
| 27 | All expect of thee that thou give them food in season. | Omnia a te expectant ut des illis escam in tempore. |
| 28 | What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good. | Dante te illis, colligent; aperiente te manum tuam, omnia implebuntur bonitate. |
| 29 | But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust. | Avertente autem te faciem, turbabuntur; auferes spiritum eorum, et deficient, et in pulverem suum revertentur. |
| 30 | Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. | Emittes spiritum tuum, et creabuntur, et renovabis faciem terrae. |
| 31 | May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. | Sit gloria Domini in saeculum; laetabitur Dominus in operibus suis. |
| 32 | He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. | Qui respicit terram, et facit eam tremere; qui tangit montes, et fumigant. |
| 33 | I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. | Cantabo Domino in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu sum. |
| 34 | Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord. | Iucundum sit ei eloquium meum; ego vero delectabor in Domino. |
| 35 | Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord. | Deficiant peccatores a terra, et iniqui, ita ut non sint. Benedic, anima mea, Domino. |
