Bible / Psalms

Psalms 133

Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner revision (1749–1752), the traditional Catholic English Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate. If you read a modern Bible, this is the same Scripture in older English; some names are spelled differently (Cesarea for Caesarea, Apocalypse for Revelation). About this translation

1 Behold now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord: Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

2 In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.

3 May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.
