Day 7: The Servant Who Did Not Open His Mouth
Isaias 52:13–53:12 and Psalm 22 (23 modern) · Douay-Rheims
Today's reading
Isaias 52:13–53:12 — The Servant Who Did Not Open His Mouth
Centuries before a Roman execution detail went to work outside Jerusalem, a prophet wrote down a description of a man being killed — and wrote most of it in the past tense.
Psalm 22 (23 modern) — The Lord Ruleth Me
So you land on the right page: in your Douay-Rheims this is **Psalm 22**. In almost every modern Bible it is **Psalm 23**. And modern Psalm 22 is a different psalm — "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me" — which the Douay calls Psalm 21. One digit, two psalms, both about the same Man. Both numbers, every time, from here on.
