31
Oh that
men
would praise the L
ORD
for
his goodness, and
for
his wonderful works to the children
of men!
32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly
of the elders.
33
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34
A
fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35
He turneth the
wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36
And there he maketh the
hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37
And sow the fields, and plant
vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied
greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39
Again, they are minished and brought low
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them
to wander in the wilderness,
where there is
no way.
41
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
and maketh
him
families like a flock.
42
The righteous shall see
it,
and rejoice: and all iniquity shall
stop her mouth.
43
Whoso
is
wise, and will observe these
things,
even they shall understand the
lovingkindness of the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 108
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself
will awake early.
3
I will praise thee, O L
ORD
, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the
nations.
4
For thy mercy
is
great above the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth
unto the clouds.
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save
with
thy right hand, and answer me.
7
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the
valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead
is
mine; Manasseh
is
mine; Ephraim also
is
the strength of mine head; Judah
is
my
lawgiver;
9
Moab
is
my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11
Wilt
not
thou,
O God,
who
hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our
hosts?
12
Give us help from trouble: for vain
is
the help of man.
13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he
it is that
shall tread down our enemies.
CHAPTER 109
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
