Psalms 124 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 124
1A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
2in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
3For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
5But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
Psalms 124
1If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
