The Book of Psalms Psalm 119

Douay-Rheims · Challoner revision

Challoner’s heading

Ad Dominum.

Psalm 119 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 120 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

1In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me. 2O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue? 4The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste. 5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar: 6My soul hath been long a sojourner. 7With them that hated peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
Psalm 119 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
