1Song of a Psalm by David.
1O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
8Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
13Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
