Psalmorum 108
1 Canticum Psalmi David. Paratum cor meum Deus, paratum cor meum: cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
2 Exurge gloria mea, exurge psalterium, et cithara: exurgam diluculo.
Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
3 Confitebor tibi in populis Domine: et psallam tibi in nationibus.
I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
4 Quia magna est super caelos misericordia tua: et usque ad nubes veritas tua:
For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
5 Exaltare super caelos Deus, et super omnem terram gloria tua:
Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 ut liberentur dilecti tui. Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me:
Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
7 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Exultabo, et dividam Sichimam, et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring 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 is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moab lebes spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae amici facti sunt.
Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
10 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos, et non exibis Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
12 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
13 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
