| [1]Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. |
[1]O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. |
| [2]Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea. |
[2]Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; |
| [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]They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. |
| [5]quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua. |
[5]Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. |
| [6]Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua; |
[6]Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
| [7]ut liberentur dilecti tui, salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me. |
[7]And he 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]Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
| [9]Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus, |
[9]For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. |
| [10]Moab lebes spei meæ; in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt. |
[10]Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death, being bound in affliction and iron; |
| [11]Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam? |
[11]Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High: |
| [12]nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris? |
[12]Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help. |
| [13]Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis. |
[13]Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. |
| [14]In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros. |
[14]He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death, and broke their bands asunder. |
