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 or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

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

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: 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 great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

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

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

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

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help 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 hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

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

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast 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 fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

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

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

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

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
