Psalms 9:14-26 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

14. Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.

15. Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

16. I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.

17. The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

18. The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.

19. For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.

20. Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

21. Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.

22. Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?

23. Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.

24. For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.

25. The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:

26. God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
