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.

A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

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

Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.

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

I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.

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

For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

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

Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your 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 Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

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

God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My 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] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

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

Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

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

Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!

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

Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.

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

We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
