Confitebor tibi.
1 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my | whole | heart; ||
I will speak of | all thy | 3 marvellous | • works. ||
2 I will be | glad • and re- | joice in • thee; ||
yea, my songs will I make of thy | Name, O | thou Most | Highest. ||
3 While mine enemies are | driven | back, ||
they shall | fall and | perish • at thy | presence. ||
4 For thou hast maintained my | 3 right and • my | cause; ||
thou art set in the | throne that | judgest | right. ||
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, and de- | stroyed • the un- | godly; ||
thou hast put out their | name for | 3 ever and | ever. ||
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a per- | pet•ual | end; ||
even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, * their me- | mor•ial is | perished | with them. ||
6 O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a per- | pet•ual | end; ||
even as the cities which thou hast destroyed, * whose me- | mor•ial is | perished | with them. ||
7 But the Lord shall en- | dure for | ever; ||
he hath also pre- | pared his | seat for | judgment. ||
8 For he shall judge the | world in | righteous•ness, ||
and minister true | judgment | 3 unto the | people. ||
9 The Lord also will be a de- | fence • for the op- | pressed, ||
even a | 3 refuge in | due • time of | trouble. ||
10 And they that know thy Name will put their | trust in | thee; ||
for thou, Lord, hast | never | failed • them that | seek thee. ||
*§ 11 O | praise the | Lord ||
Or, 11 O praise the Lord which | 3 dwelleth • in | Sion; ||
show the | people | of his | doings. ||
which dwelleth in Sion; * | show the | people • of his | doings. ||
12 For when he maketh inquisition for | blood, • he re- | membereth • them, ||
and for- | getteth • not the com- | plaint • of the | poor. ||
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; * consider the trouble which I suffer of | them that | hate me, ||
thou that liftest me | up • from the | gates of | death; ||
14 That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the | 3 daughter of | Sion: ||
I will re- | joice in | thy sal- | vation. ||
14 That I may show all thy praises within the gates of the | 3 daughter of | Sion: ||
I will re- | joice in | thy sal- | vation. ||
15 The heathen are sunk down in the | pit • that they | made; ||
in the same net which they hid | privi•ly | 3 is their • foot | taken. ||
16 The Lord is known to | exe•cute | judgment; ||
the ungodly is trapped in the | 3 work of • his | own | hands. ||
17 The wicked shall be | turned • into | hell, ||
and all the | people | that for•get | God. ||
17 The wicked shall be | turned • to de- | struction, ||
and all the | people | that for•get | God. ||
18 For the poor shall not | alway • be for- | gotten; ||
the patient abiding of the | meek • shall not | perish • for | ever. ||
19 Up, Lord, and let not man have the | upper | hand; ||
let the | 3 heathen be | 3 judged in • thy | sight. ||
20 Put them in | fear, O | Lord, ||
that the heathen may | know them•selves to | be but | men. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
