Psalms 108

1 A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.

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, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, amongst the people; I will sing praise to you amongst the Gentiles.

4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

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 from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, 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 washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, 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 aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.

13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
