< 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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake 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 thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4 For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.
For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
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 above all the earth Thy honour.
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 us.
7 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
9 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.
Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
