Psalms 90 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 90
1The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
2He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.
3For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
9For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
10Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
11For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
12With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
13You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
14Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
15He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
16I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
Psalms 90
1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
