Description

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.
