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 steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even 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 the dawn.

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

I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

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 reacheth unto the skies.

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 be above all the earth.

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

That Thy beloved 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 spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would 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; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

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

Who will bring me into the fortified 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?

Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

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

Give us help against the adversary; 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; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
