Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.

A canticle of a psalm for David himself. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.

4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

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

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

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

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

That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

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

Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:

9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

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

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

11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

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 trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

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

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
