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.

O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

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

I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto 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 above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto 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 may be delivered: save with your 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 has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will 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 strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

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

Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

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 cast us off? 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 trouble: 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 shall tread down our enemies.
