Psalm 108
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
107:1 Canticum Psalmi, ipsi David.
2 ¶ Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum;
cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
cantabo, et psallam in gloria mea.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 Exsurge, gloria mea; exsurge, psalterium et cithara;
exsurgam diluculo.
exsurgam diluculo.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine,
et psallam tibi in nationibus:
et psallam tibi in nationibus:
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 quia magna est super cælos misericordia tua,
et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 Exaltare super cælos, Deus,
et super omnem terram gloria tua:
et super omnem terram gloria tua:
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 ut liberentur dilecti tui.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Deus locutus est in sancto suo:
Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam;
et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
Exsultabo, et dividam Sichimam;
et convallem tabernaculorum dimetiar.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses,
et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei.
Juda rex meus;
et Ephraim susceptio capitis mei.
Juda rex meus;
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Moab lebes spei meæ:
in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum;
mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
in Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum;
mihi alienigenæ amici facti sunt.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam?
quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos?
et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
et non exibis, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione,
quia vana salus hominis.
quia vana salus hominis.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
14 In Deo faciemus virtutem;
et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
et ipse ad nihilum deducet inimicos nostros.
