< Psalmorum 108 >

1 Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.
2 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab lebes spei meæ: in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.
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 to Edom?”
11 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
