107:1. A canticle of a psalm for David himself.
107:2. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and
will give praise, with my glory.
107:3. Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the
morning early.
107:4. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing
unto thee among the nations.
107:5. For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto
the clouds.
107:6. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all
the earth:
107:7. That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and
hear me.
107:8. God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will
divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
107:9. Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection

107:10. Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe:
the aliens are become my friends.
107:11. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom?
107:12. Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou,
O God, go forth with our armies?
107:13. O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
107:14. Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies
to nothing.
Psalms Chapter 108
Deus, laudem meam.
David in the person of Christ, prayeth against his persecutors; more
especially the traitor Judas: foretelling and approving his just
punishment for his obstinacy in sin and final impenitence.
108:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David.
108:2. O God, be not thou silent in my praise: for the mouth of the
wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
108:3. They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have
compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me
without cause.
108:4. Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I
gave myself to prayer.
108:5. And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
108:6. Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his
right hand.
Set thou the sinner over him, etc... Give to the devil, that arch-
sinner, power over him: let him enter into him, and possess him. The
imprecations, contained in the thirty verses of this psalm, are opposed
to the thirty pieces of silver for which Judas betrayed our Lord; and
are to be taken as prophetic denunciations of the evils that should
befall the traitor and his accomplices the Jews; and not properly as
curses.
108:7. When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be
turned to sin.
108:8. May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
108:9. May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
