Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit. | Psalmus Asaph. Deus, venerunt gentes in haereditatem tuam; polluerunt templum sanctum tuum; posuerunt Ierusalem in pomorum custodiam. |
| 2 | They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth. | Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus caeli; carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terrae. |
| 3 | They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them. | Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Ierusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret. |
| 4 | We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. | Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris; subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt. |
| 5 | How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire? | Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem? accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus? |
| 6 | Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. | Effunde iram tuam in gentes quae te non noverunt, et in regna quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt: |
| 7 | Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place. | quia comederunt Iacob, et locum eius desolaverunt. |
| 8 | Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor. | Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum; cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis. |
| 9 | Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake: | Adiuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos: et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum. |
| 10 | Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: | Ne forte dicant in gentibus: Ubi est Deus eorum? et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est. |
| 11 | Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death. | Introëat in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum; secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum: |
| 12 | And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. | et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum; improperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine. |
| 13 | But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation. | Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascuae tuae, confitebimur tibi in saeculum; in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam. |
