Psalms 40:4-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

5. I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

6. My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

7. And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

8. All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

9. They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

10. For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
