| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm on Solomon. | Psalmus, in Salomonem. |
| 2 | Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment. | Deus, iudicium tuum regi da, et iustitiam tuam filio regis; iudicare populum tuum in iustitia, et pauperes tuos in iudicio. |
| 3 | Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice. | Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles iustitiam. |
| 4 | He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor. | Iudicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem. |
| 5 | And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations. | Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem. |
| 6 | He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth. | Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram. |
| 7 | In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway. | Orietur in diebus eius iustitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna. |
| 8 | And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. | Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum. |
| 9 | Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground. | Coram illo procident Aethiopes, et inimici eius terram lingent. |
| 10 | The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts: | Reges Tharsis et insulae munera offerent; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent: |
| 11 | And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him. | et adorabunt eum omnes reges terrae; omnes gentes servient ei. |
| 12 | For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper. | Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adiutor. |
| 13 | He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor. | Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet. |
| 14 | He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight. | Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo. |
| 15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day. | Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiae; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei. |
| 16 | And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth. | Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium; superextolletur super Libanum fructus eius, et florebunt de civitate sicut foenum terrae. |
| 17 | Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him. | Sit nomen eius benedictum in saecula; ante solem permanet nomen eius. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terrae; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum. |
| 18 | Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things. | Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus. |
| 19 | And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it. | Et benedictum nomen maiestatis eius in aeternum, et replebitur maiestate eius omnis terra. Fiat, fiat. |
| 20 | The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended. | Defecerunt laudes David, filii Iesse. |
