Douay Bible - Psalms Chapter 142

Psalms 142:1
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.

Psalms 142:2
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

Psalms 142:3
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:

Psalms 142:4
and my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.

Psalms 142:5
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.

Psalms 142:6
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.

Psalms 142:7
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Psalms 142:8
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.

Psalms 142:9
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:

Psalms 142:10
teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:

Psalms 142:11
for thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:

Psalms 142:12
and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
