107.33
PSALMS
- 33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
- And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
- 34A fruitful land into a salt waste,
- For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
- 35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,
- And a dry land into watersprings.
- 36And there He maketh the hungry to dwell,
- And they establish a city of habitation;
- 37And sow fields, and plant vineyards,
- Which yield fruits of increase.
- 38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly,
- And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
- 39Again, they are minished and dwindle away
- Through oppression of evil and sorrow.
- 40He poureth contempt upon princes,
- And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
- 41Yet setteth He the needy on high from affliction,
- And maketh his families like a flock.
- 42The upright see it, and are glad;
- And all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
- 43Whoso is wise, let him observe these things,
- And let them consider the mercies of the Lord.
108 A Song, a Psalm of David.
- 2My heart is steadfast, O God;
- I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
- 3Awake, psaltery and harp;
- I will awake the dawn.
- 4I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples;
- And I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
- 5For Thy mercy is great above the heavens,
- And Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
- 6Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
- And Thy glory be above all the earth.
- 7That Thy beloved may be delivered,
- Save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
- 8God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult;
- That I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
- 9Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
- Ephraim also is the defence of my head;
- Judah is my sceptre.
- 10Moab is my washpot;
- Upon Edom do I cast my shoe;
- Over Philistia do I cry aloud.
- 11Who will bring me into the fortified city?
- Who will lead me unto Edom?
- 12Hast not Thou cast us off, O God?
- And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?
- 13Give us help against the adversary;
- For vain is the help of man.
- 14Through God we shall do valiantly;
- For He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
109 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
- O God of my praise, keep not silence;
- 2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me;
