Psalms 107
1(108) Song of a Psalm by David.Ὠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Δαυίδ.
2O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.Ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου ὁ Θεὸς, ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ᾄσομαι καὶ ψαλῶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ μου.
3Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.Ἐξεγέρθητι ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάρα, ἐξεγερθήσομαι ὄρθρου.
4I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν λαοῖς Κύριε, ψαλῶ σοι ἐν ἔθνεσιν.
5For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth reaches to the clouds.Ὅτι μέγα ἐπάνω τῶν οὐρανῶν τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν ἡ ἀλήθειά σου.
6Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.Ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου.
7That your beloved ones may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;Ὅπως ἂν ῥυσθῶσιν οἱ ἀγαπητοί σου, σῶσον τῇ δεξιᾷ σου, καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου.
8I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.Ὁ Θεὸς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ, ὑψωθήσομαι καὶ διαμεριῶ Σίκιμα, καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν σκηνῶν διαμετρήσω.
9Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of my head; Judas is my king;Ἐμός ἐστι Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ἐμός ἐστι Μανασσῆς, καὶ Ἐφραίμ ἀντίληψις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου· Ἰούδας βασιλεύς μου,
10Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.Μωὰβ λέβης τῆς ἐλπίδος μου· ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐπιβαλῶ τὸ ὑπόδημά μου, ἐμοὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ὑπετάγησαν.
11Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?Τίς ἀπάξει με εἰς πόλιν περιοχῆς; ἢ τίς ὁδηγήσει με ἕως τῆς Ἰδουμαίας;
12Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?Οὐχὶ σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἀπωσάμενος ἡμᾶς; καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν ἡμῶν;
13Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.Δὸς ἡμῖν βοήθειαν ἐκ θλίψεως, καὶ ματαία σωτηρία ἀνθρώπου.
14Through God we shall * do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.Ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ποιήσομεν δύναμιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξουδενώσει τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν.
