< Psalms 108 >

1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises 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 above the heavens: and your truth reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
That your beloved may be delivered: save with your 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 has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, 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; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
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!
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Give 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 valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
