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 | The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. | Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum. |
| 3 | Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. | Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam. |
| 4 | There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. | Non sunt loquelae, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum. |
| 5 | Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world. | In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum. |
| 6 | He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: | In sole posuit tabernaculum suum; et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo. Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam; |
| 7 | His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat. | a summo caelo egressio eius. Et occursus eius usque ad summum eius; nec est qui se abscondat a calore eius. |
| 8 | The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones. | Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas; testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam praestans parvulis. |
| 9 | The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes. | Iustitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda; praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos. |
| 10 | The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves. | Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in saeculum saeculi; iudicia Domini vera, iustificata in semetipsa, |
| 11 | More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. | desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum. |
| 12 | For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward. | Etenim servus tuus custodit ea; in custodiendis illis retributio multa. |
| 13 | Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: | Delicta quis intelligit? ab occultis meis munda me; |
| 14 | And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin. | et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero, et emundabor a delicto maximo. |
| 15 | And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer. | Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper. Domine, adiutor meus, et redemptor meus. |
