Psalms 125 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 125
1A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.
2Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.
4Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.
5Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.
6When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds.
7But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
Psalms 125
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
