< 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 fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms 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 unto the clouds.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, 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 ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
God hath 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, and 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 wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
