Psalms 108

1 Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.

O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

3 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.

I will praise thee, O Yhwh, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

6 That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;

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

7 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

12 Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
