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.

A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

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

Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

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

I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

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

For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.

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

Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,

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

so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.

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

God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.

9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.

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

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into 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 had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

Grant 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.

In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
