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.

My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.

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

I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, 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 loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.

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 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 will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete 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 defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

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

Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.

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

Who will bring 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 thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

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

Give us help against the adversary, 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 it is who will tread down our adversaries.
