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 fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

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

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

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

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

For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

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

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

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

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

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

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

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

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.

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 washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.

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

Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led me unto Edom?

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

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

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

Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.

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

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
