Psalms 138 (Douay-Rheims)

Passage

To the end, a psalm of David. Lord, you have proved me, and known me: You have known my sitting down, and my rising up. You have understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line you have searched out. And you have foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue. Behold, O Lord, you have known all things, the last and those of old: you have formed me, and have laid your hand upon me. Your knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it. Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your face? If I ascend into heaven, you are there: if I descend into hell, you are present. If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: Even there also shall your hand lead me: and your right hand shall hold me. And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures. But darkness shall not be dark to you, and night shall be light all the day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to you. For you have possessed my reins: you have protected me from my mother's womb. I will praise you, for you are fearfully magnified: wonderful are your works, and my soul knows right well. My bone is not hidden from you, which you have made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my imperfect being, and in your book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them. But to me your friends, O God, are made exceedingly honorable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened. I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand, I rose up and am still with you. If you will kill the wicked, O God: you men of blood, depart from me: Because you say in thought: They shall receive your cities in vain. Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated you: and pined away because of your enemies? I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me. Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths. And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
