Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
1Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
3For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
4For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.
5They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
5For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
6Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.
7They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
7For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
8Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
9As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
10Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
11And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,
