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 Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

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

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

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

I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations. I will sing praises to you amongst the peoples.

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

For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

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

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

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

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

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

Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

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

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

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

Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

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

Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
