Psalms 123 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 123
1A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
2if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
3perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
4perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
5Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
6Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
7Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 123
1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
