Psalms 45 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 45
1Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm.
2Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.
3Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.
4They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.
5The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
6God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.
7The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.
8The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
9Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,
10carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.
11Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth.
12The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
Psalms 45
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
2Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
3Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
4Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
5The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
6God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
7Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
8The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
9Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
10Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
11Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
12The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
