Psalms 108
1 “A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
2 Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations. I will sing praises to you amongst the peoples.
4 For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
7 God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”
10 Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.
12 Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
