Psalms 143
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war. | Psalmus David. Adversus Goliath. Benedictus Dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad praelium, et digitos meos ad bellum. |
| 2 | My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me. | Misericordia mea et refugium meum; susceptor meus et liberator meus; protector meus, et in ipso speravi, qui subdit populum meum sub me. |
| 3 | Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? | Domine, quid est homo, quia innotuisti ei? aut filius hominis, quia reputas eum? |
| 4 | Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow. | Homo vanitati similis factus est; dies eius sicut umbra praetereunt. |
| 5 | Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke. | Domine, inclina caelos tuos, et descende; tange montes, et fumigabunt. |
| 6 | Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them. | Fulgura coruscationem, et dissipabis eos; emitte sagittas tuas, et conturbabis eos. |
| 7 | Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children: | Emitte manum tuam de alto: eripe me, et libera me de aquis multis, de manu filiorum alienorum: |
| 8 | Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity. | quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis. |
| 9 | To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee. | Deus, canticum novum cantabo tibi; in psalterio decachordo psallam tibi. |
| 10 | Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword: | Qui das salutem regibus, qui redemisti David servum tuum de gladio maligno, |
| 11 | Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity: | eripe me, et erue me de manu filiorum alienorum, quorum os locutum est vanitatem, et dextera eorum dextera iniquitatis. |
| 12 | Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple: | Quorum filii sicut novellae plantationes in iuventute sua; filiae eorum compositae, circumornatae ut similitudo templi. |
| 13 | Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth: | Promptuaria eorum plena, eructantia ex hoc in illud; oves eorum foetosae, abundantes in egressibus suis; |
| 14 | Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets. | boves eorum crassae. Non est ruina maceriae, neque transitus, neque clamor in plateis eorum. |
| 15 | They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord. | Beatum dixerunt populum cui haec sunt; beatus populus cuius Dominus Deus eius. |
