Psalms 32 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims

Psalms 32

¹A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.

²Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

³Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.

⁴For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.

⁵He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:

⁷gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.

⁹For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.

¹⁰The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.

¹¹But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance.

¹³The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.

¹⁴From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.

¹⁵He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.

¹⁶The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.

¹⁷The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.

¹⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,

¹⁹so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.

²⁰Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.

²¹For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.

²²Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.

Psalms 32

¹A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

²Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

³Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.

⁴For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

⁵He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

⁷Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

⁹For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

¹⁰The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

¹¹But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

¹³The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.

¹⁴From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

¹⁵He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.

¹⁶The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.

¹⁷Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

¹⁸Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

¹⁹To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

²⁰Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

²¹For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.

²²Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
