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. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified 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!
Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
