Psalms 107

1 (106-1) Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 (106-2) Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.
3 (106-3) From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
4 (106-4) They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
5 (106-5) They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
6 (106-6) And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 (106-7) And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 (106-8) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
9 (106-9) For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
10 (106-10) Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
11 (106-11) Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
12 (106-12) And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them.
13 (106-13) Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
14 (106-14) And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
15 (106-15) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
16 (106-16) Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars.
17 (106-17) He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
18 (106-18) Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
19 (106-19) And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
20 (106-20) He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
21 (106-21) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
22 (106-22) And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.
23 (106-23) They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
24 (106-24) These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 (106-25) He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
26 (106-26) They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
27 (106-27) They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
28 (106-28) And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
29 (106-29) And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
30 (106-30) And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
31 (106-31) Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
32 (106-32) And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
33 (106-33) He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground:
34 (106-34) A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 (106-35) He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs.
36 (106-36) And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
37 (106-37) Anti they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
38 (106-38) And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
39 (106-39) Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
40 (106-40) Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
41 (106-41) And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
42 (106-42) The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 (106-43) Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord?

Psalms 108

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

Psalms 109

1 (108-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> (108-2) O God, be not thou silent in my praise:
2 (108-2) for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
3 (108-3) They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
4 (108-4) Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
5 (108-5) And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
6 (108-6) Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
7 (108-7) When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
8 (108-8) May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
9 (108-9) May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 (108-10) Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
11 (108-11) May the usurer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
12 (108-12) May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
13 (108-13) May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
14 (108-14) May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 (108-15) May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
16 (108-16) because he remembered not to shew mercy,
17 (108-17) But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
18 (108-18) And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
19 (108-19) May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
20 (108-20) This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.
21 (108-21) But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me,
22 (108-22) For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
23 (108-23) I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
24 (108-24) My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
25 (108-25) And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads.
26 (108-26) Help me, O Lord my God; save me; according to thy mercy.
27 (108-27) And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
28 (108-28) They will curse and thou wilt bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
29 (108-29) Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
30 (108-30) I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.
31 (108-31) Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors.
