Psalms 12 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 12
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?
2How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?
3How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
4Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,
5lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.
6But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
Psalms 12
1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
3How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
4Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:
5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved:
6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.
