Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.

Psalms 37:3
For thy arrows are fastened in me : and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

Psalms 37:4
There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath : there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

Psalms 37:5
For my iniquities are gone over my head : and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

Psalms 37:7

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...

Matthew 17:1 AND after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: Matthew 17:2 And he was transfigured before them.
