Douay Bible - Psalms Chapter 38

Psalms 38:1
Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.

Psalms 38:2
I said: I will take heed to my ways : that I sin not with my tongue. I have set guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.

Psalms 38:3
I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things : and my sorrow was renewed.

Psalms 38:4
My heart grew hot within me : and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.

Psalms 38:5
I spoke with my tongue : O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days : that I may know what is wanting to me.

Psalms 38:6
Behold thou hast made my days measurable : and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity : every man living.

Psalms 38:7
Surely man passeth as an image : yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up : and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.

Psalms 38:8
And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.

Psalms 38:9
Deliver thou me from all my iniquities : thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.

Psalms 38:10
I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.

Psalms 38:11
Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:

Psalms 38:12
thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider : surely in vain is any man disquieted.

Psalms 38:13
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication : give ear to my tears. Be not silent : for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.

Psalms 38:14
O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.

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...

Psalms 64:1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out.

The Gentiles shall be troubled, Psalms 64:9 and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt...
