Psalms 17:39-46 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

45. A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.

46. The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
