Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

Canticum Psalmi ipsi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.

2 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.

3 I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.

4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

Quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:

5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

Exaltare super cælos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:

6 To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me:

7 God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.

8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:

9 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.

10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?

11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?

12 Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.

13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.

In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
