Comparison
Psalms 128
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say. | Canticum graduum. Saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea, dicat nunc Israël; |
| 2 | Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me. | saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea: etenim non potuerunt mihi. |
| 3 | The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity. | Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam. |
| 4 | The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners: | Dominus iustus concidit cervices peccatorum. |
| 5 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion. | Confundantur, et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion. |
| 6 | Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up: | Fiant sicut foenum tectorum, quod priusquam evellatur exaruit: |
| 7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom. | de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit. |
| 8 | And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. | Et non dixerunt qui praeteribant: Benedictio Domini super vos. Benediximus vobis in nomine Domini. |
