Douay Bible - Psalms Chapter 16

Psalms 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.

Psalms 16:2
Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.

Psalms 16:3
Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.

Psalms 16:4
That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.

Psalms 16:5
Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.

Psalms 16:6
I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.

Psalms 16:7
Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.

Psalms 16:8
From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

Psalms 16:9
From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:

Psalms 16:10
they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.

Psalms 16:11
They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.

Psalms 16:12
They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.

Psalms 16:13
Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword

Psalms 16:14
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.

Psalms 16:15
But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

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
