Psalms 33 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version

Psalms 33

¹For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way.

²I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

³In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.

⁴O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

⁵I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

⁶Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

⁷This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

⁸The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

⁹O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

¹⁰Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

¹¹The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

¹²Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

¹³Who is the man that desireth life: who liveth to see good days?

¹⁴Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁵Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.

¹⁶The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.

¹⁷But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁸The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.

¹⁹The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.

²⁰Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.

²¹The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

²²The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.

²³The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.

Psalms 33

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

²Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

³Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

⁴For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.

⁵He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

¹¹The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

¹³The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁵He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁷An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

²¹For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

²²Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
