Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor. | Oratio ipsi David. Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego. |
| 2 | Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee. | Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperantem in te. |
| 3 | Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. | Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die; |
| 4 | Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul. | laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi. |
| 5 | For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee. | Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te. |
| 6 | Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition. | Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meae. |
| 7 | I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me. | In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me. |
| 8 | There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works. | Non est similis tui in diis, Domine, et non est secundum opera tua. |
| 9 | All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name. | Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et glorificabunt nomen tuum. |
| 10 | For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone. | Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus. |
| 11 | Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name. | Deduc me, Domine, in via tua, et ingrediar in veritate tua; laetetur cor meum, ut timeat nomen tuum. |
| 12 | I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever: | Confitebor tibi, Domine Deus meus, in toto corde meo, et glorificabo nomen tuum in aeternum: |
| 13 | For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell. | quia misericordia tua magna est super me, et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori. |
| 14 | O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes. | Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me, et synagoga potentium quaesierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo. |
| 15 | And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true. | Et tu, Domine Deus, miserator et misericors; patiens, et multae misericordiae, et verax. |
| 16 | O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid. | Respice in me, et miserere mei; da imperium tuum puero tuo, et salvum fac filium ancillae tuae. |
| 17 | Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me. | Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui oderunt me, et confundantur: quoniam tu, Domine, adiuvisti me, et consolatus es me. |
