Psalms 108

1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.

Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.

3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.

I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.

4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.

6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,

God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,

Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.

10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!

Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.

Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!

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