Psalms 108

DOUAI-RHEIMSNEW JERUSALEM
1 A canticle of a psalm for David himself.1 [Song Psalm Of David] My heart is ready, God, I will sing and make music; come, my glory!
2 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.2 Awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the Dawn!
3 Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.3 I wil praise you among the peoples, Yahweh, I wil play to you among nations,
4 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.4 for your faithful love towers to heaven, and your constancy to the clouds.
5 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.5 Be exalted above the heavens, God. Your glory over the whole earth!
6 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:6 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.
7 that thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.7 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Val ey ofSuccoth.
8 God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.8 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,
9 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:9 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal, over Philistia I cry victory.'
10 Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.10 Who will lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide me into Edom,
11 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?11 if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.
12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?12 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human assistance is worthless.
13 O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.13 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample down our enemies.
14 Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
