Psalms 54:13-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.

14. But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,

15. Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.

16. Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.

17. But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.

18. Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.

19. He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.

20. God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:

21. he hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,

22. they are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
