Psalms, 107
The prophet praiseth God for benefits received.
Paratum cor meum.
[1] A canticle of a psalm for David himself. •
[2] My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory. •
[3] Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early. •
[4] I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations. •
[5] For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
[6] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:
[7] That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me. •
[8] God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles. •
[9] Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king: •
[10] Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends. •
[11] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? •
[12] Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off ? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
[13] O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. •
[14] Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
