Berean Standard Bible
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
1In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.
2Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.
2O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.
3They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
3What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.
4You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
4The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.
5Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:
6Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
6My soul hath been long a sojourner.
7I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.
7With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
8I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me. BETH
