| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: | Psalmus David, filiorum Ionadab, et priorum captivorum. In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in aeternum. |
| 2 | Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me. | In iustitia tua libera me, et eripe me: inclina ad me aurem tuam, et salva me. |
| 3 | Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge. | Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in locum munitum, ut salvum me facias: quoniam firmamentum meum et refugium meum es tu. |
| 4 | Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust. | Deus meus, eripe me de manu peccatoris, et de manu contra legem agentis, et iniqui: |
| 5 | For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth; | quoniam tu es patientia mea, Domine; Domine, spes mea a iuventute mea. |
| 6 | By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing: | In te confirmatus sum ex utero; de ventre matris meae tu es protector meus; in te cantatio mea semper. |
| 7 | I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper. | Tamquam prodigium factus sum multis; et tu adiutor fortis. |
| 8 | Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long. | Repleatur os meum laude, ut cantem gloriam tuam, tota die magnitudinem tuam. |
| 9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me. | Ne proiicias me in tempore senectutis; cum defecerit virtus mea, ne derelinquas me. |
| 10 | For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together, | Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi, et qui custodiebant animam meam consilium fecerunt in unum, |
| 11 | Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him. | dicentes: Deus dereliquit eum: persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat. |
| 12 | O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help. | Deus, ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum respice. |
| 13 | Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt. | Confundantur et deficiant detrahentes animae meae; operiantur confusione et pudore qui quaerunt mala mihi. |
| 14 | But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise. | Ego autem semper sperabo, et adiiciam super omnem laudem tuam. |
| 15 | My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning, | Os meum annuntiabit iustitiam tuam, tota die salutare tuum. Quoniam non cognovi litteraturam, |
| 16 | I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone. | introibo in potentias Domini; Domine, memorabor iustitiae tuae solius. |
| 17 | Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works. | Deus, docuisti me a iuventute mea; et usque nunc pronuntiabo mirabilia tua. |
| 18 | And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power, | Et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me, donec annuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni quae ventura est, potentiam tuam, |
| 19 | And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee? | et iustitiam tuam, Deus, usque in altissima; quae fecisti magnalia, Deus: quis similis tibi? |
| 20 | How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth: | Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas! et conversus vivificasti me, et de abyssis terrae iterum reduxisti me. |
| 21 | Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me. | Multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam; et conversus consolatus es me. |
| 22 | For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel. | Nam et ego confitebor tibi in vasis psalmi veritatem tuam, Deus; psallam tibi in cithara, sanctus Israël. |
| 23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed. | Exsultabunt labia mea cum cantavero tibi; et anima mea quam redemisti. |
| 24 | Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me. | Sed et lingua mea tota die meditabitur iustitiam tuam, cum confusi et reveriti fuerint qui quaerunt mala mihi. |
