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 fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

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

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

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 great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

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

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

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

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 exult: 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 defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.

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

Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led me unto Edom?

11 Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

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

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

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

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.

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