Psalms 113 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 113
1Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.
3The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.
4The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.
5What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?
6What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?
7Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.
8He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
9Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
10Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
11But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
12The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
13They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
14They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
15They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
16Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
17The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
18The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
19Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
20The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron.
21He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
22May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
23Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
24The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
25The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell.
26But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
Psalms 113
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
2Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.
4The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
