< Psalms 108 >
1 “A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
Canticum Psalmi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
2 Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.
4 For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
Quia magna est super caelos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
5 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Exaltare super caelos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me:
7 God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
8 Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
9 Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
Moab lebes spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae amici facti sunt.
10 Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
11 Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
12 Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 will tread down our enemies.
In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
