A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
9 Moab lebes spei meæ: in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.]
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
