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 Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

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

Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

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

I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

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

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

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

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou 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 apportion Shechem! And, the Vale 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, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

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

Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

Who will conduct me to a 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!

Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

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

Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

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

In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.
