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 | In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly. | Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer. |
| 3 | Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips. | Desiderium cordis eius tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum. |
| 4 | For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. | Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso. |
| 5 | He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever. | Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi. |
| 6 | His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him. | Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum. |
| 7 | For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance. | Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi; laetificabis eum in gaudio cum vultu tuo. |
| 8 | For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. | Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur. |
| 9 | Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee. | Inveniatur manus tua omnibus inimicis tuis; dextera tua inveniat omnes qui te oderunt. |
| 10 | Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them. | Pones eos ut clibanum ignis in tempore vultus tui: Dominus in ira sua conturbabit eos, et devorabit eos ignis. |
| 11 | Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men. | Fructum eorum de terra perdes, et semen eorum a filiis hominum, |
| 12 | For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish. | quoniam declinaverunt in te mala; cogitaverunt consilia quae non potuerunt stabilire. |
| 13 | For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face. | Quoniam pones eos dorsum; in reliquiis tuis praeparabis vultum eorum. |
| 14 | Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power. | Exaltare, Domine, in virtute tua; cantabimus et psallemus virtutes tuas. |
