Psalms 108

1 A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

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

2 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

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

3 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

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

4 For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.

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

5 Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,

Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.

6 so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.

That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

7 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,

8 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah 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 cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.

Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

10 Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?

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

11 Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

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

12 Grant 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 In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

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