The Book of Psalms Psalm 12

Douay-Rheims · Challoner revision

Challoner’s heading

Usquequo, Domine.

Psalm 12 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 13 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me? 2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day? 3How long shall my enemy be exalted over Me? 4Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death: 5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved: 6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.

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.
