< Psalms 108 >
1 My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
