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 psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
That thy beloved ones 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Who will bring me to 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?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 will tread down our enemies.
