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 by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

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

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

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

I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations. I will sing praises to you amongst the peoples.

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

For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

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

That your beloved may be delivered, save with your 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 has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 my helmet. 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 wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

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

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

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

Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

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

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

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

Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
