Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity. | Psalmus ipsi David. Noli aemulari in malignantibus, neque zelaveris facientes iniquitatem: |
| 2 | For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall. | quoniam tamquam foenum velociter arescent, et quemadmodum olera herbarum cito decident. |
| 3 | Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches. | Spera in Domino, et fac bonitatem; et inhabita terram, et pasceris in divitiis eius. |
| 4 | Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart. | Delectare in Domino, et dabit tibi petitiones cordis tui. |
| 5 | Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it. | Revela Domino viam tuam, et spera in eo, et ipse faciet. |
| 6 | And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. | Et educet quasi lumen iustitiam tuam, et iudicium tuum tamquam meridiem. |
| 7 | Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things. | Subditus esto Domino, et ora eum. Noli aemulari in eo qui prosperatur in via sua; in homine faciente iniustitias. |
| 8 | Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil. | Desine ab ira, et derelinque furorem; noli aemulari ut maligneris. |
| 9 | For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land. | Quoniam qui malignantur exterminabuntur; sustinentes autem Dominum, ipsi haereditabunt terram. |
| 10 | For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it. | Et adhuc pusillum, et non erit peccator; et quaeres locum eius, et non invenies. |
| 11 | But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace. | Mansueti autem haereditabunt terram, et delectabuntur in multitudine pacis. |
| 12 | The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth. | Observabit peccator iustum, et stridebit super eum dentibus suis. |
| 13 | But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come. | Dominus autem irridebit eum, quoniam prospicit quod veniet dies eius. |
| 14 | The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart. | Gladium evaginaverunt peccatores; intenderunt arcum suum: ut deiiciant pauperem et inopem, ut trucident rectos corde. |
| 15 | Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken. | Gladius eorum intret in corda ipsorum, et arcus eorum confringatur. |
| 16 | Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked. | Melius est modicum iusto, super divitias peccatorum multas: |
| 17 | For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just. | quoniam brachia peccatorum conterentur: confirmat autem iustos Dominus. |
| 18 | The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever. | Novit Dominus dies immaculatorum, et haereditas eorum in aeternum erit. |
| 19 | They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled: | Non confundentur in tempore malo, et in diebus famis saturabuntur: |
| 20 | Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke. | quia peccatores peribunt. Inimici vero Domini mox ut honorificati fuerint et exaltati, deficientes quemadmodum fumus deficient. |
| 21 | The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give. | Mutuabitur peccator, et non solvet; iustus autem miseretur et tribuet: |
| 22 | For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish. | quia benedicentes ei haereditabunt terram; maledicentes autem ei disperibunt. |
| 23 | With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way. | Apud Dominum gressus hominis dirigentur, et viam eius volet. |
| 24 | When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him. | Cum ceciderit, non collidetur, quia Dominus supponit manum suam. |
| 25 | I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread. | Iunior fui, etenim senui; et non vidi iustum derelictum, nec semen eius quaerens panem. |
| 26 | He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing. | Tota die miseretur et commodat; et semen illius in benedictione erit. |
| 27 | Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever. | Declina a malo, et fac bonum, et inhabita in saeculum saeculi: |
| 28 | For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish. | quia Dominus amat iudicium, et non derelinquet sanctos suos: in aeternum conservabuntur. Iniusti punientur, et semen impiorum peribit. |
| 29 | But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore. | Iusti autem haereditabunt terram, et inhabitabunt in saeculum saeculi super eam. |
| 30 | The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment. | Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, et lingua eius loquetur iudicium. |
| 31 | The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted. | Lex Dei eius in corde ipsius, et non supplantabuntur gressus eius. |
| 32 | The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death, | Considerat peccator iustum, et quaerit mortificare eum. |
| 33 | But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged. | Dominus autem non derelinquet eum in manibus eius, nec damnabit eum cum iudicabitur illi. |
| 34 | Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see. | Exspecta Dominum, et custodi viam eius, et exaltabit te ut haereditate capias terram: cum perierint peccatores, videbis. |
| 35 | I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus. | Vidi impium superexaltatum, et elevatum sicut cedros Libani: |
| 36 | And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found. | et transivi, et ecce non erat; et quaesivi eum, et non est inventus locus eius. |
| 37 | Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man. | Custodi innocentiam, et vide aequitatem, quoniam sunt reliquiae homini pacifico. |
| 38 | But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish. | Iniusti autem disperibunt simul; reliquiae impiorum interibunt. |
| 39 | But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble. | Salus autem iustorum a Domino; et protector eorum in tempore tribulationis. |
| 40 | And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him. | Et adiuvabit eos Dominus, et liberabit eos; et eruet eos a peccatoribus, et salvabit eos, quia speraverunt in eo. |
