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 Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

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

Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

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

I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

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

For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.

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

Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,

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

so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.

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, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

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, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.

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

Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.

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

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?

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

Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

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

Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.

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

In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
