Psalms 108
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion 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, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, 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 washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
