| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David. | In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. David. |
| 2 | SAVE me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul. | Salvum me fac, Deus, quoniam intraverunt aquae usque ad animam meam. |
| 3 | I stick fast in the mire of the deep: and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea: and a tempest hath overwhelmed me. | Infixus sum in limo profundi et non est substantia. Veni in altitudinem maris, et tempestas demersit me. |
| 4 | I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God. | Laboravi clamans, raucae factae sunt fauces meae; defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum. |
| 5 | They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away. | Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei qui oderunt me gratis. Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei iniuste; quae non rapui, tunc exsolvebam. |
| 6 | O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee: | Deus, tu scis insipientiam meam; et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita. |
| 7 | Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel. | Non erubescant in me qui exspectant te, Domine, Domine virtutum; non confundantur super me qui quaerunt te, Deus Israël. |
| 8 | Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. | Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium; operuit confusio faciem meam. |
| 9 | I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother. | Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis, et peregrinus filiis matris meae. |
| 10 | For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. | Quoniam zelus domus tuae comedit me, et opprobria exprobrantium tibi ceciderunt super me. |
| 11 | And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me. | Et operui in ieiunio animam meam, et factum est in opprobrium mihi. |
| 12 | And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them. | Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium; et factus sum illis in parabolam. |
| 13 | They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song. | Adversum me loquebantur qui sedebant in porta, et in me psallebant qui bibebant vinum. |
| 14 | But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. | Ego vero orationem meam ad te, Domine; tempus beneplaciti, Deus. In multitudine misericordiae tuae, exaudi me in veritate salutis tuae. |
| 15 | Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. | Eripe me de luto, ut non infigar; libera me ab iis qui oderunt me, et de profundis aquarum. |
| 16 | Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. | Non me demergat tempestas aquae, neque absorbeat me profundum, neque urgeat super me puteus os suum. |
| 17 | Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. | Exaudi me, Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua; secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum respice in me. |
| 18 | And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily. | Et ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo; quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me. |
| 19 | Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies. | Intende animae meae, et libera eam; propter inimicos meos, eripe me. |
| 20 | Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame. | Tu scis improperium meum, et confusionem meam, et reverentiam meam; |
| 21 | In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none. | in conspectu tuo sunt omnes qui tribulant me. Improperium exspectavit cor meum et miseriam: et sustinui qui simul contristaretur, et non fuit; et qui consolaretur, et non inveni. |
| 22 | And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. | Et dederunt in escam meam fel, et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto. |
| 23 | Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock. | Fiat mensa eorum coram ipsis in laqueum, et in retributiones, et in scandalum. |
| 24 | Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always. | Obscurentur oculi eorum, ne videant, et dorsum eorum semper incurva. |
| 25 | Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. | Effunde super eos iram tuam, et furor irae tuae comprehendat eos. |
| 26 | Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles. | Fiat habitatio eorum deserta, et in tabernaculis eorum non sit qui inhabitet. |
| 27 | Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds. | Quoniam quem tu percussisti persecuti sunt, et super dolorem vulnerum meorum addiderunt. |
| 28 | Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice. | Appone iniquitatem super iniquitatem eorum, et non intrent in iustitiam tuam. |
| 29 | Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written. | Deleantur de libro viventium, et cum iustis non scribantur. |
| 30 | But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up. | Ego sum pauper et dolens; salus tua, Deus, suscepit me. |
| 31 | I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise. | Laudabo nomen Dei cum cantico, et magnificabo eum in laude: |
| 32 | And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs. | et placebit Deo super vitulum novellum, cornua producentem et ungulas. |
| 33 | Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live. | Videant pauperes, et laetentur; quaerite Deum, et vivet anima vestra: |
| 34 | For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners. | quoniam exaudivit pauperes Dominus, et vinctos suos non despexit. |
| 35 | Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein. | Laudent illum caeli et terra; mare, et omnia reptilia in eis. |
| 36 | For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance. | Quoniam Deus salvam faciet Sion, et aedificabuntur civitates Iuda, et inhabitabunt ibi, et haereditate acquirent eam. |
| 37 | And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein. | Et semen servorum eius possidebit eam; et qui diligunt nomen eius habitabunt in ea. |
