Proverbs 6

Proverbs chapter 6 from the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision

1 Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth: 2 Their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets. 3 They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord. 5 Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. 6 Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. 7 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end. 8 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power. 9 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works. 10 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness. 11 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice. 12 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy. 13 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 14 Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee. 15 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power: 16 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom. 17 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works. 18 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down. 19 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season. 20 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature. 21 The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works. 22 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth. 23 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them. 24 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy. 25 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name forever; yea, for ever and ever. 27 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias. 28 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes: 29 In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation. 30 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish. 31 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God: 32 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them. 33 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered: 34 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just. 35 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
