Psalmorum 108
1 Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. [Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moab lebes spei meæ: in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.]
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
