Comparison
Psalms 57
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. | In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem. |
| 2 | If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men. | Si vere utique iustitiam loquimini, recta iudicate, filii hominum. |
| 3 | For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth. | Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra iniustitias manus vestrae concinnant. |
| 4 | The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things. | Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa. |
| 5 | Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears: | Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas, |
| 6 | Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely. | quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter. |
| 7 | God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions. | Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus. |
| 8 | They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened. | Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur. |
| 9 | Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun. | Sicut cera quae fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem. |
| 10 | Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath. | Priusquam intelligerent spinae vestrae rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos. |
| 11 | The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. | Laetabitur iustus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris. |
| 12 | And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth. | Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus iusto, utique est Deus iudicans eos in terra. |
