Psalms 9:36-47 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

36. Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

37. The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

38. The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

39. To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

40. Unto the end. A psalm for David.

41. In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?

42. For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

43. For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?

44. The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

45. The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.

46. He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.

47. For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
