Psalms 17:42-50 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

42. They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.

43. And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.

44. Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.

45. A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.

46. The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

47. The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:

48. O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.

49. And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.

50. Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
