Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!
1Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David.
2For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
2Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
3They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
4The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
5Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.
6By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
7The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
