Psalms 133 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 133
1A gradual canticle. Behold now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord: Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
2In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.
3May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.
Psalms 133
1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
