Psalms 145 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 145
1Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.
2Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,
3in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.
5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,
6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.
7He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.
8The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.
9The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.
10The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Psalms 145
1Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
2Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:
3In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
5Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
7Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:
8The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
9The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
10The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
