Psalms 17:28-44 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

34. Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.

35. Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.

36. And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.

37. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.

38. I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.

39. I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.

40. And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.

41. And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.

42. They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.

43. And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.

44. Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
