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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Awake, psaltery 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 Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise 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 unto the clouds Thy truth.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
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 us.
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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, 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, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not 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 vain is the salvation of man.
13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
