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