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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, 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 answer me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

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

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

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

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