Psalms 108

1 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.

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.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

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

I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.

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

For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.

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

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

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

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

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

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

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

Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

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

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

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

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

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

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

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

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

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.
