Vers | English: Douay-Rheims | English: King James Version |
1 | Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. | O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. |
2 | Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms. | Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
3 | For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. | LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
4 | For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his. | How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
5 | For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. | They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. |
6 | Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us. | They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
7 | For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. | Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. |
8 | To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: | Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
9 | As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works. | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
10 | Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
11 | And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest. | The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
12 | Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; | |
13 | That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. | |
14 | For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. | |
15 | But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. | |
16 | Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? | |
17 | Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. | |
18 | When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. | |
19 | In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. | |
20 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? | |
21 | They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. | |
22 | But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. | |
23 | And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. |
