Psalms 108

1 A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!

A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!

Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

3 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.

I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4 For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

6 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

7 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

12 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

13 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
