Psalms 74 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 74
1Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph.
2We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.
3While I have time, I will judge justices.
4The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.
5I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”
6Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.
7For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.
8For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.
9For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.
10But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.
11And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.
Psalms 74
1Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.
2We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
3When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
4The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
5I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
6Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.
7For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:
8For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
9For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
10But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.
11And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
