Psalms 108

1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. 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 thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!

4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.

For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!

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

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!

7 God hath 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 washpot; 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 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, 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.
