Psalms 125 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 125
1A gradual canticle. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
2Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
3The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
4Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
7But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
Psalms 125
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
