Psalms 12
Psalms chapter 12 from the Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner Revision
1 When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves. 2 When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate. 3 For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 4 The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble. 5 As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear. 6 The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire. 7 He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil. 8 A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
