Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
1Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God.
2Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
2They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
3You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah
3God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
4You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
4All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.
5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
5Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
6The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
6They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
7“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
7Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
