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 or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

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

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: 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 great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

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

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

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

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

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 the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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 triumph.

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 as far as Edom?

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

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

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

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