Psalms 108

1 A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!

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

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!

Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.

3 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.

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

4 For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.

quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.

5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!

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

6 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

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

7 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

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

8 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.

Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;

9 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

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

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

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

11 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?

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

12 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.

Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.

13 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.

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