Psalms 124 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 124
1A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
2in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
3For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
5But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
Psalms 124
1A gradual canticle. They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
