Psalms 34
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me. | Ipsi David. Iudica, Domine, nocentes me; expugna impugnantes me. |
| 2 | Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me. | Apprehende arma et scutum, et exsurge in adiutorium mihi. |
| 3 | Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation. | Effunde frameam, et conclude adversus eos qui persequuntur me; dic animae meae: Salus tua ego sum. |
| 4 | Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me. | Confundantur et revereantur quaerentes animam meam; avertantur retrorsum et confundantur cogitantes mihi mala. |
| 5 | Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them. | Fiant tamquam pulvis ante faciem venti, et angelus Domini coarctans eos. |
| 6 | Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them. | Fiat via illorum tenebrae et lubricum, et angelus Domini persequens eos. |
| 7 | For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul. | Quoniam gratis absconderunt mihi interitum laquei sui; supervacue exprobraverunt animam meam. |
| 8 | Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall. | Veniat illi laqueus quem ignorat, et captio quam abscondit apprehendat eum, et in laqueum cadat in ipsum. |
| 9 | But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation. | Anima autem mea exsultabit in Domino, et delectabitur super salutari suo. |
| 10 | All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him. | Omnia ossa mea dicent: Domine, quis similis tibi? eripiens inopem de manu fortiorum eius; egenum et pauperem a diripientibus eum. |
| 11 | Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not. | Surgentes testes iniqui, quae ignorabam interrogabant me. |
| 12 | They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul. | Retribuebant mihi mala pro bonis, sterilitatem animae meae. |
| 13 | But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom. | Ego autem, cum mihi molesti essent, induebar cilicio; humiliabam in ieiunio animam meam, et oratio mea in sinu meo convertetur. |
| 14 | As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled. | Quasi proximum et quasi fratrem nostrum sic complacebam; quasi lugens et contristatus sic humiliabar. |
| 15 | But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not. | Et adversum me laetati sunt, et convenerunt; congregata sunt super me flagella, et ignoravi. |
| 16 | They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth. | Dissipati sunt, nec compuncti; tentaverunt me, subsannaverunt me subsannatione; frenduerunt super me dentibus suis. |
| 17 | Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions. | Domine, quando respicies? Restitue animam meam a malignitate eorum; a leonibus unicam meam. |
| 18 | I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people. | Confitebor tibi in ecclesia magna; in populo gravi laudabo te. |
| 19 | Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes. | Non supergaudeant mihi qui adversantur mihi inique, qui oderunt me gratis, et annuunt oculis. |
| 20 | For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile. | Quoniam mihi quidem pacifice loquebantur; et in iracundia terrae loquentes, dolos cogitabant. |
| 21 | And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it. | Et dilataverunt super me os suum; dixerunt: Euge, euge! viderunt oculi nostri. |
| 22 | Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me. | Vidisti, Domine: ne sileas; Domine, ne discedas a me. |
| 23 | Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord. | Exsurge et intende iudicio meo, Deus meus; et Dominus meus, in causam meam. |
| 24 | Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me. | Iudica me secundum iustitiam tuam, Domine Deus meus, et non supergaudeant mihi. |
| 25 | Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up. | Non dicant in cordibus suis: Euge, euge, animae nostrae; nec dicant: Devoravimus eum. |
| 26 | Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me. | Erubescant et revereantur simul qui gratulantur malis meis; induantur confusione et reverentia qui magna loquuntur super me. |
| 27 | Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant. | Exsultent et laetentur qui volunt iustitiam meam; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui volunt pacem servi eius. |
| 28 | Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long. | Et lingua mea meditabitur iustitiam tuam; tota die laudem tuam. |
