< 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 psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
Exalt thyself, 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 ones may be delivered, Save 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet 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 shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who will bring me to the strong 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?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 will tread down our enemies.
