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.

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.

Douay Bible - Judith Chapter 11

Judith 11:1 Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Judith 11:2 And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. Judith 11:3 But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us? Judith 11:4 And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing. Judith 11:5 For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. Judith 11:6 For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces.
