< Psalmorum 108 >
1 Canticum Psalmi ipsi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.
4 Quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.
5 Exaltare super cælos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me:
That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
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 into Edom?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble: 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 it is that shall tread down our enemies.
