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 Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

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

I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

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

For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

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

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

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

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou 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 apportion Shechem! And, the Vale 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, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

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

Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

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

Who will conduct me to a 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?

Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

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

Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

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

In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.
