Psalms 108

1 “A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

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

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

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

3 I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

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

4 For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

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

5 Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

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

6 In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help 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 divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

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

8 Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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

9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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 as far as Edom?

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

11 Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

12 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.

13 Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

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