Psalms 108

1 A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.

A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

3 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.

I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

4 For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.

For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

5 Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.

6 Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.

That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

7 This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

10 Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

11 Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.

Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

12 Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

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

13 With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.

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