< 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 prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your 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 has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
