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 or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

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

I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to 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 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.

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

8 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda 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 my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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 into Edom?

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

12 O grant us help from trouble: 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 will tread down our enemies.
