Psalms 99 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
Psalms 99
1A psalm of praise.
2Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.
3Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
4Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:
5For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.
Psalms 99
1The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
7He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
