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 of a psalm for David himself. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
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 over 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 hear 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 rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
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 into 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 hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
