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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

2 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.

Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

3 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.

I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

4 Quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:

For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

5 Exaltare super cælos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:

Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

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 us.

7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.

God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

8 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:

Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,

9 Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.

Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?

Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

13 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.

In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
