He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock.
The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
