Psalms 121 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 121
1A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”
2Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.
4For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.
5For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.
6Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.
7Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.
8For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
Psalms 121
1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
