< 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 [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre. I will wake up the dawn.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out 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; Ephraim also [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] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city: who will lead me into Edom?
11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
