Psalms 102 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 102
1To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless his holy name, all that is within me.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his recompenses.
3He forgives all your iniquities. He heals all your infirmities.
4He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with mercy and compassion.
5He satisfies your desire with good things. Your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.
6The Lord accomplishes mercies, and his judgment is for all who patiently endure injuries.
7He has made his ways known to Moses, his will to the sons of Israel.
8The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy.
9He will not be angry forever, and he will not threaten for eternity.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, and he has not repaid us according to our iniquities.
11For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.
13As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.
14For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.
15Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.
16For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.
17But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,
18with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.
19The Lord has prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom will rule over all.
20Bless the Lord, all you his Angels: powerful in virtue, doing his word, in order to heed the voice of his discourse.
21Bless the Lord, all his hosts: his ministers who do his will.
22Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Psalms 102
1Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
15So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
