Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. | In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, cum fugeret a facie Saul in speluncam. |
| 2 | Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away. | Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas. |
| 3 | I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me. | Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi. |
| 4 | He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth, | Misit de caelo, et liberavit me; dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me. Misit Deus misericordiam suam et veritatem suam, |
| 5 | And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. | et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittae, et lingua eorum gladius acutus. |
| 6 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth. | Exaltare super caelos, Deus, et in omnem terram gloria tua. |
| 7 | They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it. | Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam. |
| 8 | My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm. | Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psalmum dicam. |
| 9 | Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early. | Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara: exsurgam diluculo. |
| 10 | I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations. | Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus: |
| 11 | For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds. | quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua. |
| 12 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth. | Exaltare super caelos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua. |
