Psalmorum 108
1 Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David. [Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum; cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
“A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara; exsurgam diluculo.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine, et psallam tibi in nationibus:
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua, et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 Exaltare super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses, et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab lebes spei meæ: in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum; mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.]
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
