< Psalmorum 108 >

1 Canticum Psalmi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
2 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 Quia magna est super caelos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.
5 Exaltare super caelos 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 us.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moab lebes spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae amici facti sunt.
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help against the adversary; 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 will tread down our adversaries.
