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 | Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man. | Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me. |
| 3 | Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles. | Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant praelia. |
| 4 | They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips. | Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum. |
| 5 | Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps. | Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos: |
| 6 | The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside. | absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum; iuxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi. |
| 7 | I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication. | Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meae. |
| 8 | O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle. | Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meae, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli. |
| 9 | Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph. | Ne tradas me, Domine, a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me; ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur. |
| 10 | The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them. | Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos. |
| 11 | Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand. | Cadent super eos carbones; in ignem deiicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent. |
| 12 | A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction. | Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra; virum iniustum mala capient in interitu. |
| 13 | I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor. | Cognovi quia faciet Dominus iudicium inopis, et vindictam pauperum. |
| 14 | But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance. | Verumtamen iusti confitebuntur nomini tuo, et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo. |
