Psalms 88:24-39 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

24. And I will cut down his enemies before his face; and them that hate him I will put to flight.

25. And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

26. And I will set his hand in the sea; and his right hand in the rivers.

27. He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.

28. And I will make him my firstborn, high above the kings of the earth.

29. I will keep my mercy for him for ever: and my covenant faithful to him.

30. And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: and his throne as the days of heaven.

31. And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:

32. If they profane my justices: and keep not my commandments:

33. I will visit their iniquities with a rod: and their sins with stripes.

34. But my mercy I will not take away from him: nor will I suffer my truth to fail.

35. Neither will I profane my covenant: and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.

36. Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

37. his seed shall endure for ever.

38. And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.

39. But thou hast rejected and despised: thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
