Psalms 75 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 75
1Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
2In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
3And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
4There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
6All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
7At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
8Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
9Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
10When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
11For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
12Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
13Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
Psalms 75
1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
