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 Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

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

I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

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

For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

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

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.

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

That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

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

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

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

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

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

Give us help against the adversary; 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; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
