< 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 steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
2 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.
I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
4 Quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Exaltare super cælos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me:
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
9 Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
