Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels: | Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi; |
| 2 | I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all. | adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum. |
| 3 | In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul. | In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem. |
| 4 | May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth. | Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui. |
| 5 | And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord. | Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini; |
| 6 | For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off. | quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit. |
| 7 | If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me. | Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua. |
| 8 | The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands. | Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in saeculum; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias. |
