The Book of Psalms

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

- Chapter 75 -

We thank you, for your name is near

(Romans 2:1-16)
1
Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.
2
We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
3
When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
4
The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
5
I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
6
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.
7
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:
8
For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
9
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
10
But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.
11
And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
