Psalms 146 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 146
1Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
Psalms 146
1Alleluia. Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
2The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
4Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
6The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
7Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
9Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
