journeyman Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Psalm 120 DOUAY-RHEIMS Levavi oculos. God is the keeper of his servants. A gradual canticle. 1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me. 2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee. 4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel. 5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul. 8 May the Lord keep thy coming in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

SJRod55 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 [b]Psalms 122:[/b] 1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord. 2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together. 4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord. 5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David. 6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee. 7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers. 8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee. 9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

SJRod55 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 [b]Psalms 123:[/b] 1 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven. 2 Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us. 3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt. 4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

SJRod55 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 [b]Psalms 124:[/b] 1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: 2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us 3 perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, 4 perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. 5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. 6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Psalm 124 DOUAY-RHEIMS Qui confidunt. The just are always under God's protection. A gradual canticle. 1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth 2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever. 3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart. 5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

SJRod55 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 [b]Psalms 126:[/b] 1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted. 2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them. 3 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful. 4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. 7 But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

journeyman Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Psalm 126 DOUAY-RHEIMS Nisi Dominus. Nothing can be done without God's grace and blessing. A gradual canticle of Solomon. 1 Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it. 2 It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved, [size=1]It is vain for you to rise before light... That is, your early rising, your labour and worldly solicitude, will be vain, that is, will avail you nothing, without the light, grace, and blessing of God.[/size] 3 Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. 4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken. 5 Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

SJRod55 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 [b]Psalms 129:[/b] 1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say. 2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me. 3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity. 4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners: 5 let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion. 6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up: 7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom. 8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

walk_on_water Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me. O LORD, my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you kept me from going down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to God's holy name. For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing. Complacent, I once said, "I shall never be shaken." LORD, when you showed me favor I stood like the mighty mountains. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror. To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy: What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper." You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks. Glory be to the father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJRod55 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 [b]Psalms 130:[/b] 1 Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: 2 Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. 3 If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it. 4 For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word: 5 my soul hath hoped in the Lord. 6 From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. 7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

SJRod55 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 [b]Psalms 131:[/b] 1 Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me. 2 If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul. 3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
