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. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!

2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

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

3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.

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

4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.

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

5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,

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

6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

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

7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.

God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion 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.

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

9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.

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

10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

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

11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?

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

12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

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

13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.

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