Note that Catholics and Protestants number the Psalms
differently. Traditional Catholic Bibles, including the Vulgate, which
is the "official Catholic Bible," and the Douay-Rheims follow the older
numbering of the Septuagint. Protestants and, sadly, some post-concilar
translations, follow the numbering used by 6th -10th c. (A.D.) Jewish
rabbis. The chart below compares those two numbering systems:
