Douay Bible - Psalms Chapter 70

Psalms 70:1
A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:

Psalms 70:2
deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

Psalms 70:3
Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.

Psalms 70:4
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.

Psalms 70:5
For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;

Psalms 70:6
By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:

Psalms 70:7
I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.

Psalms 70:8
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.

Psalms 70:9
Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

Psalms 70:10
For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,

Psalms 70:11
Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

Psalms 70:12
O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.

Psalms 70:13
Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.

Psalms 70:14
But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

Psalms 70:15
My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not knows learning,

Psalms 70:16
I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.

Psalms 70:17
Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.

Psalms 70:18
And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,

Psalms 70:19
and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

Psalms 70:20
How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth :

Psalms 70:21
Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.

Psalms 70:22
For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.

Psalms 70:23
My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.

Psalms 70:24
Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.

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.
