Psalms 43
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding. | In finem. Filiis Core ad intellectum. |
| 2 | We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old. | Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, et in diebus antiquis. |
| 3 | Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out. | Manus tua gentes disperdidit, et plantasti eos; afflixisti populos, et expulisti eos. |
| 4 | For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them. | Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram, et brachium eorum non salvavit eos: sed dextera tua et brachium tuum, et illuminatio vultus tui, quoniam complacuisti in eis. |
| 5 | Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob. | Tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus, qui mandas salutes Iacob. |
| 6 | Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us. | In te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu, et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis. |
| 7 | For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me. | Non enim in arcu meo sperabo, et gladius meus non salvabit me: |
| 8 | But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us. | salvasti enim nos de affligentibus nos, et odientes nos confudisti. |
| 9 | In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever. | In Deo laudabimur tota die, et in nomine tuo confitebimur in saeculum. |
| 10 | But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies. | Nunc autem repulisti et confudisti nos, et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris. |
| 11 | Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves. | Avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros, et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi. |
| 12 | Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations. | Dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum, et in gentibus dispersisti nos. |
| 13 | Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them. | Vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio, et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus eorum. |
| 14 | Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us. | Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris; subsannationem et derisum his qui sunt in circuitu nostro. |
| 15 | Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people. | Posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus; commotionem capitis in populis. |
| 16 | All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me, | Tota die verecundia mea contra me est, et confusio faciei meae cooperuit me: |
| 17 | At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor. | a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis, a facie inimici et persequentis. |
| 18 | All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant. | Haec omnia venerunt super nos; nec obliti sumus te, et inique non egimus in testamento tuo. |
| 19 | And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way. | Et non recessit retro cor nostrum; et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua: |
| 20 | For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us. | quoniam humiliasti nos in loco afflictionis, et cooperuit nos umbra mortis. |
| 21 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god: | Si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri, et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum, |
| 22 | Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. | nonne Deus requiret ista? ipse enim novit abscondita cordis. Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die; aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis. |
| 23 | Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end. | Exsurge; quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem. |
| 24 | Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble? | Quare faciem tuam avertis? oblivisceris inopiae nostrae et tribulationis nostrae? |
| 25 | For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth. | Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra; conglutinatus est in terra venter noster. |
| 26 | Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake. | Exsurge, Domine, adiuva nos, et redime nos propter nomen tuum. |
