Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. | Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato. |
| 2 | Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. | Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me: |
| 3 | For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me. | quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam. |
| 4 | There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. | Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie irae tuae; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum: |
| 5 | For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. | quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me. |
| 6 | My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. | Putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae, a facie insipientiae meae. |
| 7 | I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long. | Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar. |
| 8 | For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. | Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea. |
| 9 | I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart. | Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei. |
| 10 | Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. | Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus. |
| 11 | My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. | Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum. |
| 12 | My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off: | Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui iuxta me erant, de longe steterunt: et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam. |
| 13 | And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. | Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur. |
| 14 | But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth. | Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum. |
| 15 | And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth. | Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones. |
| 16 | For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. | Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus. |
| 17 | For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. | Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt. |
| 18 | For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me. | Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper. |
| 19 | For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin. | Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo. |
| 20 | But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me: et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique. |
| 21 | They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness. | Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem. |
| 22 | Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me. | Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me. |
| 23 | Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation. | Intende in adiutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meae. |
