Psalms 64 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 64
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.
2O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
3Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
4Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
5Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
6wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
7You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
8You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
9and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
10You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
11Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
13The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
14The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
Psalms 64
1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
