• Psalm 108
• Paratum cor meum

¹ My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *

I will sing and make melody.

² Wake up, my spirit;

awake, lute and harp; *

I myself will waken the dawn.

³ I will confess you among the peoples, O LORD; *

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

⁴ For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵ Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *

and your glory over all the earth.

⁶ So that those who are dear to you may be delivered, *

save with your right hand and answer me.

⁷ God spoke from his holy place and said, *

"I will exult and parcel out Shechem;

I will divide the valley of Succoth.

⁸ Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *

Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

⁹ Moab is my washbasin,

on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *

and over Philistia will I shout in triumph."

¹⁰ Who will lead me into the strong city? *

who will bring me into Edom?

¹¹ Have you not cast us off, O God? *

you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

¹² Grant us your help against the enemy, *

for vain is the help of man.

¹³ With God we will do valiant deeds, *

and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
