Psalms 17:17-33 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.

18. He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19. They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.

20. And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.

21. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:

22. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.

23. For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.

24. And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

25. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

26. With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

27. And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

28. For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.

29. For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.

30. For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.

31. As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.

32. For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?

33. God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
