< Psalms 108 >
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Moab lebes spei meæ: in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
