Psalms 84 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 84
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm.
2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him : that glory may dwell in our land.
11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
13For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
14Justice shall walk before him: and he shall set his steps in the way.
Psalms 84
1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
