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. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.

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

Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.

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

I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.

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

For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.

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

Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

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

Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.

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

This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring 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 is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

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

Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

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

Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

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

Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.

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

Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

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

With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
