< Psalms 108 >
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
3 I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
4 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
5 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
6 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
7 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.
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 unto Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
11 Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
12 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
