< 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 of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy 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 hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
