1A canticle of a psalm for David himself.
1BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.
2So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
4I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
7That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.
7And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:
9For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled with good.
10Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron —
11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High.
12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —
13O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
14Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
