Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Oratio pauperis, cum anxius fuerit, et in conspectu Domini effuderit precem suam.
1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
2[Domine, exaudi orationem meam, et clamor meus ad te veniat.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
3Non avertas faciem tuam a me: in quacumque die tribulor, inclina ad me aurem tuam; in quacumque die invocavero te, velociter exaudi me.
3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
4Quia defecerunt sicut fumus dies mei, et ossa mea sicut cremium aruerunt.
4For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
5Percussus sum ut fœnum, et aruit cor meum, quia oblitus sum comedere panem meum.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
6A voce gemitus mei adhæsit os meum carni meæ.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
7Similis factus sum pellicano solitudinis; factus sum sicut nycticorax in domicilio.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
8Vigilavi, et factus sum sicut passer solitarius in tecto.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
9Tota die exprobrabant mihi inimici mei, et qui laudabant me adversum me jurabant:
9All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
10quia cinerem tamquam panem manducabam, et potum meum cum fletu miscebam,
10For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
11a facie iræ et indignationis tuæ: quia elevans allisisti me.
11Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
12Dies mei sicut umbra declinaverunt, et ego sicut fœnum arui.
12My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
13Tu autem, Domine, in æternum permanes, et memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.
13But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
14Tu exsurgens misereberis Sion, quia tempus miserendi ejus, quia venit tempus:
14Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
15quoniam placuerunt servis tuis lapides ejus, et terræ ejus miserebuntur.
15For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
16Et timebunt gentes nomen tuum, Domine, et omnes reges terræ gloriam tuam:
16And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
17quia ædificavit Dominus Sion, et videbitur in gloria sua.
17For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
18Respexit in orationem humilium et non sprevit precem eorum.
18He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
19Scribantur hæc in generatione altera, et populus qui creabitur laudabit Dominum.
19Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
20Quia prospexit de excelso sancto suo; Dominus de cælo in terram aspexit:
20Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
21ut audiret gemitus compeditorum; ut solveret filios interemptorum:
21That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
22ut annuntient in Sion nomen Domini, et laudem ejus in Jerusalem:
22That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
23in conveniendo populos in unum, et reges, ut serviant Domino.
23When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
24Respondit ei in via virtutis suæ: Paucitatem dierum meorum nuntia mihi:
24He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
25ne revoces me in dimidio dierum meorum, in generationem et generationem anni tui.
25Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
26Initio tu, Domine, terram fundasti, et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.
26In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
27Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanes; et omnes sicut vestimentum veterascent. Et sicut opertorium mutabis eos, et mutabuntur;
27They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
28tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.
28But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
29Filii servorum tuorum habitabunt, et semen eorum in sæculum dirigetur.]
29The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
