Psalms 15 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 15
1The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
2I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
3As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
6The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
7I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
10For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
Psalms 15
1The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.
2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for bloodofferings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
