Comparison
Psalms 140
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee. | Psalmus David. Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meae, cum clamavero ad te. |
| 2 | Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice. | Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum. |
| 3 | Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips. | Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiae labiis meis. |
| 4 | Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them. | Non declines cor meum in verba malitiae, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum. |
| 5 | The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased: | Corripiet me iustus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum: |
| 6 | Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed: | absorpti sunt iuncti petrae iudices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt. |
| 7 | As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. | Sicut crassitudo terrae erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum. |
| 8 | But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul. | Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam. |
| 9 | Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity. | Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem. |
| 10 | The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass. | Cadent in retiaculo eius peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam. |
