Psalms 22 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 22
1A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.
2He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.
3He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.
4For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.
5You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!
6And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.

2He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
3He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake.
4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
5Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!
6And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
