| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness. | Canticum graduum. Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis eius: |
| 2 | How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob: | sicut iuravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Iacob: |
| 3 | If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie: | Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meae; si ascendero in lectum strati mei; |
| 4 | If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids, | si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem, |
| 5 | Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. | et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Iacob. |
| 6 | Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood. | Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvae. |
| 7 | We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood. | Introibimus in tabernaculum eius; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes eius. |
| 8 | Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified. | Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae. |
| 9 | Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice. | Sacerdotes tui induantur iustitiam, et sancti tui exsultent. |
| 10 | For thy servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed. | Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui. |
| 11 | The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne. | Iuravit Dominus David veritatem, et non frustrabitur eam: De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam. |
| 12 | If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne. | Si custodierint filii tui testamentum meum, et testimonia mea haec quae docebo eos, et filii eorum usque in saeculum sedebunt super sedem tuam. |
| 13 | For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling. | Quoniam elegit Dominus Sion: elegit eam in habitationem sibi. |
| 14 | This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it. | Haec requies mea in saeculum saeculi; hic habitabo, quoniam elegi eam. |
| 15 | Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread. | Viduam eius benedicens benedicam; pauperes eius saturabo panibus. |
| 16 | I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy. | Sacerdotes eius induam salutari, et sancti eius exsultatione exsultabunt. |
| 17 | There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed. | Illuc producam cornu David; paravi lucernam christo meo. |
| 18 | His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish. | Inimicos eius induam confusione; super ipsum autem efflorebit sanctificatio mea. |
