< Psalmorum 108 >

1 Canticum Psalmi ipsi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
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 to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4 Quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.
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 us.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God has 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 defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
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 who will tread down our adversaries.
