Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. | In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. |
| 2 | Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. | Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem: in die mala liberabit eum Dominus. |
| 3 | The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. | Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius. |
| 4 | The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness. | Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris eius; universum stratum eius versasti in infirmitate eius. |
| 5 | I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. | Ego dixi: Domine, miserere mei; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi. |
| 6 | My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? | Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi: Quando morietur, et peribit nomen eius? |
| 7 | And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose. | Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur; cor eius congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur. |
| 8 | All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me. | In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi. |
| 9 | They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more? | Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me: Numquid qui dormit non adiiciet ut resurgat? |
| 10 | For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. | Etenim homo pacis meae in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos, magnificavit super me supplantationem. |
| 11 | But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them. | Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me; et retribuam eis. |
| 12 | By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me. | In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me. |
| 13 | But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever. | Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in aeternum. |
| 14 | Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it. | Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël a saeculo et usque in saeculum. Fiat, fiat. |
