Comparison
Psalms 38
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David. | In finem, ipsi Idithun. Canticum David. |
| 2 | I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me. | Dixi: Custodiam vias meas: ut non delinquam in lingua mea. Posui ori meo custodiam, cum consisteret peccator adversum me. |
| 3 | I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed. | Obmutui, et humiliatus sum, et silui a bonis; et dolor meus renovatus est. |
| 4 | My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out. | Concaluit cor meum intra me; et in meditatione mea exardescet ignis. |
| 5 | I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me. | Locutus sum in lingua mea: Notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum, et numerum dierum meorum quis est, ut sciam quid desit mihi. |
| 6 | Behold thou hast made my days measurable: and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living. | Ecce mensurabiles posuisti dies meos, et substantia mea tamquam nihilum ante te. Verumtamen universa vanitas, omnis homo vivens. |
| 7 | Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things. | Verumtamen in imagine pertransit homo; sed et frustra conturbatur: thesaurizat, et ignorat cui congregabit ea. |
| 8 | And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee. | Et nunc quae est exspectatio mea: nonne Dominus? et substantia mea apud te est. |
| 9 | Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool. | Ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis erue me: opprobrium insipienti dedisti me. |
| 10 | I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it. | Obmutui, et non aperui os meum, quoniam tu fecisti; |
| 11 | Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: | amove a me plagas tuas. |
| 12 | Thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted. | A fortitudine manus tuae ego defeci in increpationibus: propter iniquitatem corripuisti hominem. Et tabescere fecisti sicut araneam animam eius: verumtamen vane conturbatur omnis homo. |
| 13 | Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were. | Exaudi orationem meam, Domine, et deprecationem meam; auribus percipe lacrimas meas. Ne sileas, quoniam advena ego sum apud te, et peregrinus sicut omnes patres mei. |
| 14 | O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more. | Remitte mihi, ut refrigerer priusquam abeam et amplius non ero. |
