< Psalms 108 >
1 A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
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 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.
5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure 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 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
