Psalms 108

1 [A Song. A Psalm by David.] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

2 Wake up, harp and lyre. I will wake up the dawn.

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

3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

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

4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

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

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

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

6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

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

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.

God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,

8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

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

9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."

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

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

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

11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.

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

12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

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

13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.

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