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 steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

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

3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.

I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

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

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

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

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

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

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

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

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
