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, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.

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

Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.

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

I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; 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 covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

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

Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.

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

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us 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 apportion 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, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

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

Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.

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 to Edom?”

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

God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

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

Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

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

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
