Psalms 43:9-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

10. But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

11. Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

12. Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.

13. Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

14. Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

15. Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.

16. All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,

17. At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

18. All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.

19. And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

20. For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

21. If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

22. Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
