Thank you all for joining in praying Psalm 40 for the Kavanaughs. I appreciate metmom posting the Psalm for us. I wonder what version it is? It reads easily. I would love to see what the Catholic Bible version is blu but I can look that up. I am still convicted to pray for Dr. Ford and even Democrats who seem to be so bent on destruction and even evil. Thanks to Judge K’s little girl. God bless all and have a wonderful day!
This may seem like a slide but the SC is key and obviously a huge treasure the Dems do not want to loose control. They will stop at nothing. If this is holding up the justice from POTUS it is crucial to get him confirmed and let the chips fall.
English Standard Version.
I like it as it does read easily.
All this exposing the evil is really continuing to force people to take sides.
It happened with Trump’s election, but not the line in the sand is so clearly drawn that there’s no one who can claim ignorance.
Those who do evil are doubling down on it and when God’s judgment falls on them, they will have no basis for pleading ignorance.
I posted Mrs. Kav’s request on another prayer thread.
I will read it again to calm down!
AMEN!
...I would love to see what the Catholic Bible version is....

Here you go. Psalm 40 from the Douay-Rheims version:
[1] Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. [2] Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. [3] The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. [4] The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness. [5] I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
[6] My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? [7] And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose. [8] All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me. [9] They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more? [10] For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
[11] But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them. [12] By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me. [13] But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever. [14] Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
