Psalms 28 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 28
1A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
4The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
8The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
9The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
10The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
11The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Psalms 28
1Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
5Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
8The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
