Psalms 26
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? | Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo? Dominus protector vitae meae: a quo trepidabo? |
| 2 | Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen. | Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt. |
| 3 | If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident. | Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum; si exsurgat adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo. |
| 4 | One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. | Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum eius. |
| 5 | For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle. | Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum protexit me in abscondito tabernaculi sui. |
| 6 | He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord. | In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi, et immolavi in tabernaculo eius hostiam vociferationis; cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino. |
| 7 | Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me. | Exaudi, Domine, vocem meam, qua clamavi ad te; miserere mei, et exaudi me. |
| 8 | My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek. | Tibi dixit cor meum: Exquisivit te facies mea; faciem tuam, Domine, requiram. |
| 9 | Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour. | Ne avertas faciem tuam a me; ne declines in ira a servo tuo. Adiutor meus esto; ne derelinquas me, neque despicias me, Deus salutaris meus. |
| 10 | For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up. | Quoniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquerunt me; Dominus autem assumpsit me. |
| 11 | Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies. | Legem pone mihi, Domine, in via tua, et dirige me in semitam rectam, propter inimicos meos. |
| 12 | Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself. | Ne tradideris me in animas tribulantium me, quoniam insurrexerunt in me testes iniqui, et mentita est iniquitas sibi. |
| 13 | I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. | Credo videre bona Domini in terra viventium. |
| 14 | Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord. | Expecta Dominum, viriliter age: et confortetur cor tuum, et sustine Dominum. |
