Psalms 62 Comparison: KJV with Apocrypha vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 62
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Psalms 62
1A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.
2O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.
5Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
8Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the cover of thy wings:
9My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
10But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
11They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
12But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
