Psalms 11 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 11
1Unto the end. For the octave. A Psalm of David.
2Save me, O Lord, because holiness has passed away, because truths have been diminished, before the sons of men.
3They have been speaking emptiness, each one to his neighbor; they have been speaking with deceitful lips and a duplicitous heart.
4May the Lord scatter all deceitful lips, along with the tongue that speaks malice.
5They have said: “We will magnify our tongue; our lips belong to us. What is Lord to us?”
6Because of the misery of the destitute and the groaning of the poor, now I will arise, says the Lord. I will place him in safety. I will act faithfully toward him.
7The eloquence of the Lord is pure eloquence, silver tested by fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
8You, O Lord, will preserve us, and you will guard us from this generation into eternity.
9The impious wander aimlessly. According to your loftiness, you have multiplied the sons of men.
Psalms 11
1In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
