Psalms 21:7-18 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

7. But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.

8. All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.

9. He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.

10. For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.

11. I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,

12. depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.

13. Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.

14. They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.

15. I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.

16. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.

17. For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.

18. They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
