Psalms 110 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 110
1I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just, and in the congregation.
2Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.
3His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.
4He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:
5He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:
6He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.
7That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.
8All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.
9He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
Psalms 110
1The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
