Douay-Rheims: Psalm 137:1-3, 7-8 (Psalm 138 at Mass)

¹I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels: ²I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all. ³In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

⁷If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me. ⁸The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 7:7-12

⁷Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. ⁹Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? ¹¹If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? ¹²All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
