Psalms 97 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 97
1A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.
2The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.
3He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.
5Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,
6with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.
7Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.
8The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,
9before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.
Psalms 97
1The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
