Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

3 I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.

4 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

5 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

6 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;

7 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

11 Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
