"Latin Vulgate" is IN-correct. Before Jerome's Vulgate in the fifth century, there were translations of the Bible into Latin. The manuscripts we have of these are collectively known as the Vetus Latina or "Old Latin" version.

In fact, long after Jerome's version became THE standard many traditionalists continued to use the Old Latin version of the book of Psalms. (This is a common phenonmenon -- the psalms are typically the most memorized and favorite parts of the Bible, so people are less likely to want to see them changed. Even today many who use modern English translations like to use the King James --or something very close to it-- when reciting a favorite like Psalm 23 ["the Lord is my Shepherd"].)
