< Psalms 108 >

1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
“A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into 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 forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
