< 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 prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, 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 answer us.
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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
