Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, a psalm of David, | In finem. Psalmus David, |
| 2 | When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee. | cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee. |
| 3 | Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity. | Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. |
| 4 | Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. | Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me. |
| 5 | For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me. | Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper. |
| 6 | To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged. | Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicaris. |
| 7 | For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me. | Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum, et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. |
| 8 | For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me. | Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. |
| 9 | Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. | Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. |
| 10 | To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice. | Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. |
| 11 | Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. | Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele. |
| 12 | Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels. | Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. |
| 13 | Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me. | Ne proiicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. |
| 14 | Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. | Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me. |
| 15 | I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee. | Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur. |
| 16 | Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice. | Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae, et exsultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam. |
| 17 | O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise. | Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. |
| 18 | For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted. | Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis. |
| 19 | A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. | Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. |
| 20 | Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. | Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem. |
| 21 | Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar. | Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos. |
