Comparison
Psalms 89
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation. | Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. Domine, refugium factus es nobis a generatione in generationem. |
| 2 | Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God. | Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a saeculo et usque in saeculum tu es, Deus. |
| 3 | Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men. | Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem: et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum. |
| 4 | For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night, | Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos tamquam dies hesterna quae praeteriit: et custodia in nocte |
| 5 | Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be. | quae pro nihilo habentur, eorum anni erunt. |
| 6 | In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither. | Mane sicut herba transeat; mane floreat, et transeat; vespere decidat, induret, et arescat. |
| 7 | For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation. | Quia defecimus in ira tua, et in furore tuo turbati sumus. |
| 8 | Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance. | Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo; saeculum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui. |
| 9 | For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider: | Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt, et in ira tua defecimus. Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur; |
| 10 | The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected. | dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni. Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni, et amplius eorum labor et dolor; quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur. |
| 11 | Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear | Quis novit potestatem irae tuae, et prae timore tuo iram tuam |
| 12 | Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom. | dinumerare? Dexteram tuam sic notam fac, et eruditos corde in sapientia. |
| 13 | Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants. | Convertere, Domine; usquequo? et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos. |
| 14 | We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days. | Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua; et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris. |
| 15 | We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils. | Laetati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti; annis quibus vidimus mala. |
| 16 | Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children. | Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua, et dirige filios eorum. |
| 17 | And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct. | Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos, et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos, et opus manuum nostrarum dirige. |
