Psalms 23 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 23
1For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.
2For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.
3Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?
4The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
5He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.
6This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
7Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
8Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.
9Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
10Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
Psalms 23
1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
