Psalms 129 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 129
1A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.
2O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?
4For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.
5My soul has hoped in the Lord.
6From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.
8And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalms 129
1A gradual canticle. Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
5my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
