Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
16Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
