Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, a psalm for David. | In finem. Psalmus David. |
| 2 | O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me. | Deus, laudem meam ne tacueris, quia os peccatoris et os dolosi super me apertum est. |
| 3 | They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause. | Locuti sunt adversum me lingua dolosa, et sermonibus odii circumdederunt me: et expugnaverunt me gratis. |
| 4 | Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer. | Pro eo ut me diligerent, detrahebant mihi; ego autem orabam. |
| 5 | And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love. | Et posuerunt adversum me mala pro bonis, et odium pro dilectione mea. |
| 6 | Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand. | Constitue super eum peccatorem, et diabolus stet a dextris eius. |
| 7 | When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin. | Cum iudicatur, exeat condemnatus; et oratio eius fiat in peccatum. |
| 8 | May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take. | Fiant dies eius pauci, et episcopatum eius accipiat alter. |
| 9 | May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. | Fiant filii eius orphani, et uxor eius vidua. |
| 10 | Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings. | Nutantes transferantur filii eius et mendicent, et eiiciantur de habitationibus suis. |
| 11 | May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours. | Scrutetur foenerator omnem substantiam eius, et diripiant alieni labores eius. |
| 12 | May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring. | Non sit illi adiutor, nec sit qui misereatur pupillis eius. |
| 13 | May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out. | Fiant nati eius in interitum; in generatione una deleatur nomen eius. |
| 14 | May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. | In memoriam redeat iniquitas patrum eius in conspectu Domini, et peccatum matris eius non deleatur. |
| 15 | May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: | Fiant contra Dominum semper, et dispereat de terra memoria eorum: |
| 16 | Because he remembered not to show mercy, | pro eo quod non est recordatus facere misericordiam, |
| 17 | But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death. | et persecutus est hominem inopem et mendicum, et compunctum corde, mortificare. |
| 18 | And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones. | Et dilexit maledictionem, et veniet ei; et noluit benedictionem, et elongabitur ab eo. Et induit maledictionem sicut vestimentum; et intravit sicut aqua in interiora eius, et sicut oleum in ossibus eius. |
| 19 | May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually. | Fiat ei sicut vestimentum quo operitur, et sicut zona qua semper praecingitur. |
| 20 | This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul. | Hoc opus eorum qui detrahunt mihi apud Dominum, et qui loquuntur mala adversus animam meam. |
| 21 | But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me. | Et tu, Domine, Domine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum, quia suavis est misericordia tua. |
| 22 | For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me. | Libera me, quia egenus et pauper ego sum, et cor meum conturbatum est intra me. |
| 23 | I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts. | Sicut umbra cum declinat ablatus sum, et excussus sum sicut locustae. |
| 24 | My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil. | Genua mea infirmata sunt a ieiunio, et caro mea immutata est propter oleum. |
| 25 | And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads, | Et ego factus sum opprobrium illis; viderunt me, et moverunt capita sua. |
| 26 | Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy. | Adiuva me, Domine Deus meus; salvum me fac secundum misericordiam tuam. |
| 27 | And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it. | Et sciant quia manus tua haec, et tu, Domine, fecisti eam. |
| 28 | They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice. | Maledicent illi, et tu benedices: qui insurgunt in me confundantur; servus autem tuus laetabitur. |
| 29 | Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak. | Induantur qui detrahunt mihi pudore, et operiantur sicut diploide confusione sua. |
| 30 | I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him. | Confitebor Domino nimis in ore meo, et in medio multorum laudabo eum: |
| 31 | Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors. | quia astitit a dextris pauperis, ut salvam faceret a persequentibus animam meam. |
