Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Douai-Rheims
¹ A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to thee!	¹ The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
² Do not hide thy face from me in the day of my distress! Incline thy ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!	² Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
³ For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.	³ Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
⁴ My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; I forget to eat my bread.	⁴ For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
⁵ Because of my loud groaning my bones cleave to my flesh.	⁵ I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
⁶ I am like a vulture of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;	⁶ Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
⁷ I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.	⁷ I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
⁸ All the day my enemies taunt me, those who deride me use my name for a curse.	⁸ I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
⁹ For I eat ashes like bread, and mingle tears with my drink,	⁹ All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
¹⁰ because of thy indignation and anger; for thou hast taken me up and thrown me away.	¹⁰ For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
¹¹ My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.	¹¹ Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
¹² But thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever; thy name endures to all generations.	¹² My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
¹³ Thou wilt arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.	¹³ But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
¹⁴ For thy servants hold her stones dear, and have pity on her dust.	¹⁴ Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
¹⁵ The nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.	¹⁵ For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
¹⁶ For the LORD will build up Zion, he will appear in his glory;	¹⁶ And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
¹⁷ he will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their supplication.	¹⁷ For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
¹⁸ Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD:	¹⁸ He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
¹⁹ that he looked down from his holy height, from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,	¹⁹ Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
²⁰ to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die;	²⁰ Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
²¹ that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,	²¹ That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
²² when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.	²² That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
²³ He has broken my strength in mid-course; he has shortened my days.	²³ When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
²⁴ "O my God," I say, "take me not hence in the midst of my days, thou whose years endure throughout all generations!"	²⁴ He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
²⁵ Of old thou didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.	²⁵ Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
²⁶ They will perish, but thou dost endure; they will all wear out like a garment. Thou changest them like raiment, and they pass away;	²⁶ In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: end the heavens are the works of thy hands.
²⁷ but thou art the same, and thy years have no end.	²⁷ They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
²⁸ The children of thy servants shall dwell secure; their posterity shall be established before thee.	²⁸ But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
	²⁹ The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
