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 [or] Psalm of David. 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 thee, O LORD, among the people: 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 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 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 hath 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 mine 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 washpot; 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!

[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, 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.
