< 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 fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us 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 apportion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.
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 to Edom?”
11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.
13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
