Douay-Rheims: Psalm 149:1-6, 9

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints. ²Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king. ³Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery. ⁴For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation. ⁵The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. ⁶The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

⁹To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 11:11-26

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve. ¹²And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. ¹³And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs. ¹⁴And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it. ¹⁵And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the chairs of them that sold doves. ¹⁶And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple; ¹⁷And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves. ¹⁸Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine. ¹⁹And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city. ²⁰And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. ²¹And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away. ²²And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. ²³Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. ²⁴Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you. ²⁵And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. ²⁶But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.
