< Psalms 108 >
1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reaches to the clouds.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
