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 steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

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

I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

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 reacheth unto the skies.

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 be above 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 answer me.

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

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would 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; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

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 unto Edom?

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

Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

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

Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

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

Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
