For attaining eternal glory in heaven, it is necessary to flee from sins, and do good works.For attayning eternal glorie in heauen, it is neceſſarie to flee from ſinnes, and do good workes.✦
The Psalm of David. LORD who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?The Pſalme of Dauid. LORD who ſhal dwel in thy tabernacle? or who ſhal reſt in thy holie hil?¶Psalmus David. Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo ? aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo ?
2He that walketh without spot, and worketh justice.He that walketh without ſpot, and worketh iuſtice.Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur justitiam ;
3He that speaketh truth in his heart, that hath not done guile in his tongue. Nor hath done evil to his neighbour, and hath not taken reproach against his neighbour.He that ſpeaketh truth in his hart, that hath not done guile in his tongue. Nor hath done euil to his neighbour, and hath not taken reproch againſt his neighbour.qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo : qui non egit dolum in lingua sua, nec fecit proximo suo malum, et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.
4The malignus: the malicious, wicked man, not medically malignant is brought to nothing in his sight; but them that fear our Lord, he glorifieth: he that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not,The malignant is brought to nothing in his ſight; but them that feare our Lord, he glorifieth: he that ſweareth to his neighbour, and deceiueth not,Ad nihilum deductus est in conspectu ejus malignus ; timentes autem Dominum glorificat. Qui jurat proximo suo, et non decipit ;
5that hath not given his money to usury, and hath not taken gifts upon the innocent: He that doeth these things, shall not be movebitur: shaken, removed from his place for ever.that hath not geuen his money to vſurie, and hath not taken giftes vpon the innocent: He that doeth theſe thinges, ſhal not be moued for euer.¶qui pecuniam suam non dedit ad usuram, et munera super innocentem non accepit : qui facit hæc non movebitur in æternum.
Annotationsfrom the original 1609 Douay Old Testament
1The Psalm of David. As the appropriating of the general name of Psalm unto some, doth not prejudice, but that the rest are also Psalms, though they be called Prayers, Canticles, Testimonies, and the like: so the application of David's name to certain Psalms, proveth not other authors of the rest. But the name of Psalm sheweth a spiritual song, apt for musical instrument; and the name of David by interpretation signifieth, that it particularly pertaineth to the beloved.The Pſalme of Dauid. As the appropriating of the general name of Pſalme vnto ſome, doth not preiudice, but that the reſt are alſo Pſalmes, though they be called Prayers, Canticles, Teſtimonies, and the like: ſo the application of Dauids name to certaine Pſalmes, proueth not other authores of the reſt. But the name of Pſalme ſheweth a ſpiritual ſongue, apt for muſical inſtrument; and the name of Dauid by interpretation ſignifieth, that it particularly perteyneth to the beloued.
5He that doeth these things. Whereas this, or any other place of holy Scripture, attributeth salvation to certain good works, neither faith, nor other works are thereby excluded, but presupposed as no less necessary, then those which are mentioned. Especially faith is always requisite, without which it is impossible to please God, and other virtues either in practice, or in purpose, and preparation of mind, when and where occasion requireth.He that doeth theſe thinges. Wheras this, or anie other place of holie Scripture, attributeth ſaluation to certaine good workes, neither faith, nor other workes are therby excluded, but preſuppoſed as no leſſe neceſſarie, then thoſe which are mentioned. Eſpecially faith is alwayes requiſite, without which it is impoſſible to pleaſe God, and other vertues either in practiſe, or in purpoſe, and preparation of mind, when and where occaſion requireth.
5Shall not be moved for ever. All states of this world are mutable, and only eternal felicity in heaven shall continue for ever. Therefore this Psalm can not be understood of the Tabernacle, nor Temple of the old Testament, which were but figures of eternal glory. But if so much purity was then required, much more all sincerity, and great sanctity are necessary for entrance into heaven.Shal not be moued for euer. Al ſtates of this world are mutable, and only eternal felicitie in heauen ſhal continew for euer. Therfore this Pſalme can not be vnderſtood of the Tabernacle, nor Temple of the old Teſtament, which were but figures of eternal glorie. But if ſo much puritie was then required, much more al ſinceritie, and great ſanctitie are neceſſarie for entrance into heauen.
