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 fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.

2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

Wake up, lute and harp; 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, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

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

For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness 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, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.

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

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your 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 has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion 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, and 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 washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.

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

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?”

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

God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

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

Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

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

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
