Psalms 35 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 35
1Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself.
2The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
3For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred.
4The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well.
5He has been considering iniquity on his bed. He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil.
6Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds.
7Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord.
8How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings.
9They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.
10For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light.
11Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart.
12May arrogant feet not approach me, and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me.
13In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. They have been expelled; they were not able to stand.
Psalms 35
1Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
2The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
4The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
5He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
6O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
7Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
8O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the cover of thy wings.
9They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
10For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
12Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
13There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
