Psalms 132 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 132
1A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell in unity.
2It is like the ointment on the head that descended to the beard, the beard of Aaron, which descended to the hem of his garment.
3It is like the dew of Hermon, which descended from mount Zion. For in that place, the Lord has commanded a blessing, and life, even unto eternity.
Psalms 132
1A gradual canticle of David. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity:
2Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:
3As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore.
