Psalms 39:5-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.

6. Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.

7. Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:

8. then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me

9. that I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.

10. I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.

11. I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.

12. Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
