The Bible Psalms Psalm 107

Psalm 107

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 108 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 ᾨδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ Δαυΐδ.

(108) Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.

2 ΕΤΟΙΜΗ ἡ καρδία μου, ὁ Θεός, ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ᾄσομαι καὶ ψαλῶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ μου.

In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 ἐξεγέρθητι, ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάρα· ἐξεγερθήσομαι ὄρθρου.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν λαοῖς, Κύριε, ψαλῶ σοι ἐν ἔθνεσιν,

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, amongst the people; I will sing praise to you amongst the Gentiles. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 ὅτι μέγα ἐπάνω τῶν οὐρανῶν τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν ἡ ἀλήθειά σου.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανούς, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ὅπως ἂν ρυσθῶσιν οἱ ἀγαπητοί σου, σῶσον τῇ δεξιᾷ σου καὶ ἐπάκουσόν μου.

That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary; (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 ὁ Θεὸς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· ὑψωθήσομαι καὶ διαμεριῶ Σίκιμα, καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν σκηνῶν διαμετρήσω·

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 ἐμός ἐστι Γαλαάδ, καὶ ἐμός ἐστι Μανασσῆς, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ ἀντίληψις τῆς κεφαλῆς μου, Ἰούδας βασιλεύς μου,

Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of my head; Judas is my king; (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 Μωὰβ λέβης τῆς ἐλπίδος μου, ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν ἐπιβαλῶ τὸ ὑπόδημά μου, ἐμοὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ὑπετάγησαν.

Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 τίς ἀπάξει με εἰς πόλιν περιοχῆς; ἢ τίς ὁδηγήσει με ἕως τῆς Ἰδουμαίας;

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea? (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 οὐχὶ σύ, ὁ Θεός, ὁ ἀπωσάμενος ἡμᾶς; καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ, ὁ Θεός, ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν ἡμῶν;

Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts? (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 δὸς ἡμῖν βοήθειαν ἐκ θλίψεως, καὶ ματαία σωτηρία ἀνθρώπου.

Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)

14 ἐν τῷ Θεῷ ποιήσωμεν δύναμιν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξουδενώσει τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies. (verse 13 in Brenton's English)
