Psalm 108

Paratum cor meum

  1. O GOD, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing, and give praise with the best member that I have.
  2. Awake, thou lute and harp; I myself will awake right early.
  3. I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
  4. For thy mercy is greater than the heavens, and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
  5. Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth;
  6. That thy beloved may be delivered: let thy right hand save them, and hear thou me.
  7. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice therefore, and divide Sichem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
  8. Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head;
  9. Judah is my law-giver; Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; upon Philistia will I triumph.
  10. Who will lead me into the strong city? and who will bring me into Edom?
  11. Hast not thou forsaken us, O God? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
  12. O help us against the enemy: for vain is the help of man.
  13. Through God we shall do great acts; and it is he that shall tread down our enemies.
