Book of Psalms from the Douai Bible (1610) in fortune(6) 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. To use, you need UNIX fortune(6) utility and you should follow the instructions from the corresponding man page.
