Catholic Public Domain Bible	Douai-Rheims
¹ The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.	¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
² Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.	² In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, Iet me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
³ Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.	³ Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
⁴ For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.	⁴ For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name's sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
⁵ I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.	⁵ Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
⁶ For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.	⁶ Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
⁷ You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.	⁷ Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
⁸ I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.	⁸ I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
⁹ Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.	⁹ And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
¹⁰ Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.	¹⁰ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.	¹¹ For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
	¹² I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
	¹³ I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
	¹⁴ For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
	¹⁵ But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
	¹⁶ My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
	¹⁷ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
	¹⁸ Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
	¹⁹ Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
	²⁰ O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
	²¹ Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
	²² Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
	²³ But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
	²⁴ O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
	²⁵ Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
