Comparison
Psalms 16
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips. | Oratio David. Exaudi, Domine, iustitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam. Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis. |
| 2 | Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable. | De vultu tuo iudicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant aequitates. |
| 3 | Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me. | Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti, et non est inventa in me iniquitas. |
| 4 | That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways. | Ut non loquatur os meum opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum, ego custodivi vias duras. |
| 5 | Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved. | Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea. |
| 6 | I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words. | Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi, et exaudi verba mea. |
| 7 | Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee. | Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te. |
| 8 | From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings. | A resistentibus dexterae tuae custodi me ut pupillam oculi. Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege me |
| 9 | From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul: | a facie impiorum qui me afflixerunt. Inimici mei animam meam circumdederunt; |
| 10 | They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly. | adipem suum concluserunt: os eorum locutum est superbiam. |
| 11 | They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth. | Proiicientes me nunc circumdederunt me; oculos suos statuerunt declinare in terram. |
| 12 | They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places. | Susceperunt me sicut leo paratus ad praedam, et sicut catulus leonis habitans in abditis. |
| 13 | Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword | Exsurge, Domine: praeveni eum, et supplanta eum: eripe animam meam ab impio; frameam tuam |
| 14 | From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance. | ab inimicis manus tuae. Domine, a paucis de terra divide eos in vita eorum; de absconditis tuis adimpletus est venter eorum. Saturati sunt filiis, et dimiserunt reliquias suas parvulis suis. |
| 15 | But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear. | Ego autem in iustitia apparebo conspectui tuo; satiabor cum apparuerit gloria tua. |
