Comparison
Psalms 91
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day. | Psalmus cantici, in die sabbati. |
| 2 | It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High. | Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime: |
| 3 | To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night: | ad annuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem, |
| 4 | Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp. | in decachordo, psalterio; cum cantico, in cithara. |
| 5 | For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice. | Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua; et in operibus manuum tuarum exsultabo. |
| 6 | O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep. | Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine! nimis profundae factae sunt cogitationes tuae. |
| 7 | The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things. | Vir insipiens non cognoscet, et stultus non intelliget haec. |
| 8 | When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: | Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut foenum, et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, ut intereant in saeculum saeculi: |
| 9 | But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. | tu autem Altissimus in aeternum, Domine. |
| 10 | For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. | Quoniam ecce inimici tui, Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt; et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem. |
| 11 | But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy. | Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum, et senectus mea in misericordia uberi. |
| 12 | My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me. | Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos, et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea. |
| 13 | The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. | Iustus ut palma florebit; sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur. |
| 14 | They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. | Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt. |
| 15 | They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated, | Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi, et bene patientes erunt: |
| 16 | That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him. | ut annuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster, et non est iniquitas in eo. |
