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 people * 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.
