Douay-Rheims Bible's psalms are in a different order?

Toby,

The Psalms as they were published in the original 1970 NAB, NOT the 1991 inclusive-language version, are actually rather good; they are still the version we use in the liturgy in the USA. The 1991 inclusive-language wreck was prohibited for liturgical use BY THE VATICAN ITSELF, Deo gratias.

Very true. Not too many around has the 70 NAB and not many lay people own a lectionary

The different numbeing drove me a little crazy, because I have a dyslexia-like problem with numbers…I can get totally confused (like when the time changes, I set half the clocks forward & half back, because I never know which way is right…). I finally sat down with a pencil with a nice sharp point, and my RSV-CE and DR, and re-numbered the Psalms in the DR to match the RSV-CE.
Now, I can read without worrying about the numbers!

Now,if they would just come up with something for setting clocks, life would be A-OK.

Thats a very good idea.

I actually have two copies of the Confraternity Psalms: (1) from an edition with the hybrid Douay-Confraternity OT and Confraternity NT, published in 1957, and (2) a 1970 NAB. The latter numbers the Psalms per the Hebrew only; the former gives the Vulgate numbering with the Hebrew in parentheses.

I want to dive into a D-R, big time, but I already have a dozen or so Bibles, and I invariably end up returning to my standard Protestant edition, because it’s so much easier to read. I’ve taken hundreds of reading notes in it. The D-R is attractive, but I’m stuck in a dilemma here.

what Protestant editions do you have and what Protestant edition do you read the most??? Also what Catholic editions do you have???

It is very similar to the King James if you are familiar with its language The King James has added to some verses and changed major words in their Bible to benefit Protestantism. Examples include:Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Both times the KJV adds “For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever Amen.” The NAB, JB and Douay-Rheims do not and neither does the RSV-CE. The Wycliffe Bible also agree with the following. Those that agree with the KJV are its predecessors: Tyndale NT, Coverdale Bible, Bishops Bible and Geneva Bible.

I stand corrected it does not include “For thine is the kingdom, power and the glory for ever” in Luke 11:2-4
