Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
1A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house.
2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.
2I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
3The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.
3O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.
4The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.
4Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
5The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
5Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
6He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
6For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
7The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
7And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
8The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
8O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
9The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”
9To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
10The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
10What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
11The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
11The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
