psalm 42
the book of psalms contained in a confraternity bible could be one of several versions: the challoner psalms, the pontifical biblical institute (pbi) of rome from 1945 (which in the title page would be labeled "a new translation of the book of psalms from the new latin version approved by pope pius xii"), the ccd psalms of 1950, or the ccd psalms of 1955. the 1950 ccd psalms were based on the 1945 pbi version (a new latin translation of the original hebrew text requested by pius xii, the "novum psalterium"). the 1955 ccd psalter, which with minor revision such as hebrew instead of latin chapter and verse numbering and proper names, is also the psalter used in the 1970 new american bible, which was translated directly from the hebrew manuscripts underlying those of the 1945 "novum psalterium". the 1950 and 1955 texts can be distinguished by reference to the first word of psalm 1, in which the former begins with the word "blessed" and the latter, "happy".
