Psalms 7
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. | Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Iemini. |
| 2 | O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. | Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me: |
| 3 | Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save. | nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat. |
| 4 | O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands: | Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis, |
| 5 | If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies. | si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis. |
| 6 | Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust. | Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat. |
| 7 | Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: | Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum: et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in praecepto quod mandasti, |
| 8 | And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high. | et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere: |
| 9 | The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me. | Dominus iudicat populos. Iudica me, Domine, secundum iustitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me. |
| 10 | The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. | Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges iustum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus. |
| 11 | Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart. | Iustum adiutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde. |
| 12 | God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day? | Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies? |
| 13 | Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready. | Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum. |
| 14 | And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn. | Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit. |
| 15 | Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity. | Ecce parturiit iniustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem. |
| 16 | He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made. | Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit. |
| 17 | His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown. | Convertetur dolor eius in caput eius, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet. |
| 18 | I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high. | Confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi. |
