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

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 give thanks to you, YHWH, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

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

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

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

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

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

That your beloved 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 from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

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

Moab is my wash pot. I will toss 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 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?

Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.

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

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

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

Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
