Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
1
(30-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.> (30-2) In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
2
(30-3) Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
3
(30-4) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4 Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.
4
(30-5) Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.
5
(30-6) Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD.
6
(30-7) Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.
7
(30-8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8 You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
8
(30-9) And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.
9
(30-10) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction,and my bones grow weak.
10
(30-11) For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11 Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me.
11
(30-12) I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery.
12
(30-13) I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13 For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
13
(30-14) For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14 But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
14
(30-15) But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.
15
(30-16) My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
16
(30-17) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
17 Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.
17
(30-18) Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
18
(30-19) Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
19 How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.
19
(30-20) O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.
20
(30-21) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle form the contradiction of tongues.
21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege.
21
(30-22) Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.
22
(30-23) But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
23 Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full.
23
(30-24) O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
24
(30-25) Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
