Psalms 112 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 112
1Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
Psalms 112
1Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
