< Psalms 108 >
1 Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2 Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.
Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to you among the Gentiles.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4 For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6 That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9 Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11 Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
