2. My heart is ready, O God! I will sing praise and make music. Awake my soul!

3. Awake, harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn.

4. I will thank you, O Lord, among the nations. I will sing praise to you among the peoples.

5. For great is your love above the heavens, your faithfulness beyond the skies.

6. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over the earth.

7. Give help and save us by your right hand, and rescue those you love.

8. God has spoken in his sanctuary: "In triumph I will divide up Shechem and parcel out the Valley of Succoth.

9. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.

10. Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."

11. Who will take me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

12. O God! Have you really rejected us? You no longer go with our armies.

13. Give us aid against the foe, for the help of mortals is not worth a straw.

14. With God we will gain victory; he will crush the enemy for us.





O sábio elogia a mulher forte dizendo: os seu dedos manejaram o fuso. A roca é o alvo dos seus desejos. Fie, portanto, cada dia um pouco. Puxe fio a fio até a execução e, infalivelmente, você chegará ao fim. Mas não tenha pressa, pois senão você poderá misturar o fio com os nós e embaraçar tudo.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
