Psalms from the Douai Bible in fortune file format

Book of Psalms from the Douai Bible 1610 in fortune6 file format

In general, taking random out-of-context verses from a Bible is a VERY bad idea. This said, this is an experiment to generate a not too bad fortune-cookie database under the following principles

• Only the text from the psalms, which are usually meant for praying, were taken.
• The texts always include at least some context you are always notified where the text came from and there is always sufficient text so that the phrases make sense.
• The text was taken from the classic Douai Bible, a direct translation from the latin Vulgata. The old language will not give you false impressions that you are actually understanding it fully.
• No effort was done to remove the original comments. Non-Christians may rightfully feel the translation is biased.

This is meant to be a general aid for Christian meditation it is not generally to be taken as my message-of-the-day from God.
