| [1]Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. |
[1]Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. |
| [2]Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea. |
[2]Let them, which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor, |
| [3]Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo. |
[3]And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. |
| [4]Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus; |
[4]When they wandered in the desert and wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, |
| [5]quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua. |
[5]Both hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. |
| [6]Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua; |
[6]Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress, |
| [7]ut liberentur dilecti tui, salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me. |
[7]And led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
| [8]Deus locutus est in sancto suo: exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar. |
[8]Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men. |
| [9]Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus, |
[9]For he satisfied the thirsty soul, and filled the hungry soul with goodness. |
| [10]Moab lebes spei meæ; in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt. |
[10]They that dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in misery and iron, |
| [11]Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam? |
[11]Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord, and despised the counsel of the Most High, |
| [12]nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris? |
[12]When he humbled their heart with heaviness, then they fell down and there was no helper. |
| [13]Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis. |
[13]Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. |
| [14]In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros. |
[14]He brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death, and brake their bands asunder. |
