| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. | In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David. |
| 2 | O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens. | Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos. |
| 3 | Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger. | Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem. |
| 4 | For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded. | Quoniam videbo caelos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quae tu fundasti. |
| 5 | What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi? | Quid est homo, quod memor es eius? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum? |
| 6 | Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: | Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis; gloria et honore coronasti eum; |
| 7 | And hast set him over the works of thy hands. | et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum. |
| 8 | Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields. | Omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius, oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi, |
| 9 | The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea. | volucres caeli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris. |
| 10 | O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth! | Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! |
