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 fixed, 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 myself will awake right early.
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 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 us.
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 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 mine 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 will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led 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 shall tread down our adversaries.
