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.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

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

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: 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 great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help 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 exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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 will I cast 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 fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

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

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

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

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

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