Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.
1When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
2As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people from this time forward and forever more.
2Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
3For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.
3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
4Do good, LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
5But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, the LORD will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
