Douay-Rheims: Exodus 3:13-20

¹³Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they should say to me: What is his name? what shall I say to them? ¹⁴God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you. ¹⁵And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. ¹⁶Go, gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I have visited you: and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt. ¹⁷And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with milk and honey. ¹⁸And they shall hear thy voice: and thou shalt go in, thou and the ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us: we will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God. ¹⁹But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a mighty hand. ²⁰For I will stretch forth my hand and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 104:1, 5, 8-9, 24-27 (Psalm 105 at Mass)

¹Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.

⁵Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

⁸He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. ⁹Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

²⁴And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies, ²⁵He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants. ²⁶He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen. ²⁷He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 11:28-30

²⁸Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. ²⁹Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
