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 fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.

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

Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

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

I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms 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 unto the clouds.

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

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, 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 ones 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 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, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

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 will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

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 unto Edom?

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

[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, 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 man's deliverance.

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

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
