Psalms 20 Comparison: KJV with Apocrypha vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 20
1The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
Psalms 20
1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
3Thou hast given him his heart's desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
4For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
5He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
6His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
7For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
8For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
9Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
10Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
11Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.
12For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
13For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
14Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
