The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 21: Psalms: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Psalms
5:4. For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my
voice.
5:5. In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because
thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5:6. Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust
abide before thy eyes.
5:7. Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that
speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
5:8. But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy
house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
5:9. Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct
my way in thy sight.
5:10. For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
5:11. Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with
their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices:
according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they
have provoked thee, O Lord.
5:12. But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for
ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name
shall glory in thee.
5:13. For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as
with a shield of thy good will.
Psalms Chapter 6
Domine, ne in furore.
A prayer of a penitent sinner, under the scourge of God. The first
penitential psalm.
6:1. Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave.
For the octave... That is, to be sung on an instrument of eight strings.
St. Augustine understands it mystically, of the last resurrection, and
the world to come; which is, as it were, the octave, or eighth day,
after the seven days of this mortal life: and for this octave, sinners
must dispose themselves, like David, by bewailing their sins, whilst
they are here upon earth.
6:2. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy
wrath.
6:3. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my
bones are troubled.
6:4. And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?
6:5. Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy's
sake.
5:5. For there is no one indeath, that is mindful of thee: and who shall
confess to thee in hell?
6:7. I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I
will water my couch with my tears.
6:8. My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst
all my enemies.
6:9. Depart from em, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard
the voice of my weeping.
6:10. The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my
prayer.
6:11. Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them
be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
Psalms Chapter 7
Domine, Deus meus.
David, trusting in the justice of his cause, prayeth for God's help
against his enemies.
7:1. The psalm of David, which he sung to the Lord, for the words of
Chusi, the son of Jemini.
