Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD ; that walketh in his ways.
2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be , and it shall be well with thee.
3The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD .
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
