< Psalms 108 >

1 My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
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 Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.
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 thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.
4 For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.
For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
7 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
9 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.
Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
11 Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
