Is the Douay-Rheims the only English Bible that recalls Lamentations as a Hebrew acrostic poem like Psalm 118 (119)?
>That’s just the Baronius Press or 1899 American edition, or the 1750 Challoner Revision.
No, it’s in the marginal notes of the original 1610 edition.

It's normal for bibles (New Oxford Annotated in this case) to explain it.
But I don't know any that will prefix the Hebrew letter.

Plenty do, like the KJV and the NET translation.

Perhaps I was too hasty in making my post. I only checked Biblehub by verse and not by chapter.
Now, I’ve checked all my English Bibles. The Collins white KJVs with covers, Holman bilingual KJV/ Reina-Valera, Oxford with Apocrypha, and Hendrickson 1611 edition all don’t have the Hebrew letters; I wonder which printed KJV does. The only ones that I’ve found that have the Hebrew letters beside the Douay-Rheims are Catholic Bibles (not Catholic editions like the RSVCE or NRSVCE but ones translated by Catholic scholars), namely the CTS Jerusalem Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible.
