Comparison
Psalms 126
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it. | Canticum graduum Salomonis. Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam. |
| 2 | It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved, | Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum, |
| 3 | Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. | ecce haereditas Domini, filii; merces, fructus ventris. |
| 4 | As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken. | Sicut sagittae in manu potentis, ita filii excussorum. |
| 5 | Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate. | Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis: non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis in porta. |
