Psalms 108

1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

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

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

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

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

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

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

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

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help 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 the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

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

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

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

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

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

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

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