< 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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.
I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise 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 unto the clouds Thy truth.
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 above all the earth Thy honour.
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 us.
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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
9 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led 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?
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
