Comparison
Psalms 2
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things? | Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania? |
| 2 | The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ. | Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum eius. |
| 3 | Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us. | Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et proiiciamus a nobis iugum ipsorum. |
| 4 | He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them. | Qui habitat in caelis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos. |
| 5 | Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage. | Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos. |
| 6 | But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment. | Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum eius, praedicans praeceptum eius. |
| 7 | The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. | Dominus dixit ad me: Filius meus es tu; ego hodie genui te. |
| 8 | Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. | Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes haereditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terrae. |
| 9 | Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. | Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos. |
| 10 | And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth. | Et nunc, reges, intelligite; erudimini, qui iudicatis terram. |
| 11 | Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling. | Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore. |
| 12 | Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. | Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via iusta. |
| 13 | When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him. | Cum exarserit in brevi ira eius, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo. |
