Psalm - douay rheims

Chapter 16

¹ The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
² Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
³ Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
⁴ That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
⁵ Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
⁶ I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
⁷ Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
⁸ From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
⁹ From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
¹⁰ they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
¹¹ They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
¹² They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
¹³ Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
¹⁴ from the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
¹⁵ But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

² O my soul, thou hast said to the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.
⁵ The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.

⁸ I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
¹⁰ For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
