Psalms 9:34-45 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

34. Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

35. Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

36. Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

37. The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

38. The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

39. To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

40. Unto the end. A psalm for David.

41. In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?

42. For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

43. For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?

44. The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

45. The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
