| [1]Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. |
[1]`Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:' |
| [2]Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea. |
[2]Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary. |
| [3]Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo. |
[3]And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea. |
| [4]Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus; |
[4]They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A city of habitation they have not found. |
| [5]quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua. |
[5]Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble, |
| [6]Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua; |
[6]And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them, |
| [7]ut liberentur dilecti tui, salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me. |
[7]And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation. |
| [8]Deus locutus est in sancto suo: exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar. |
[8]They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men. |
| [9]Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus, |
[9]For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [with] goodness. |
| [10]Moab lebes spei meæ; in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt. |
[10]Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron, |
| [11]Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam? |
[11]Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised. |
| [12]nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris? |
[12]And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper. |
| [13]Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis. |
[13]And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them. |
| [14]In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros. |
[14]He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away. |
