Psalms 16:8-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

9. From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:

10. they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.

11. They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.

12. They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.

13. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword

14. from the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.

15. But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
