Psalms 40:7-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

11. But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.

12. By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

13. But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

14. Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
