Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm Of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

“A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.

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

Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.

3 I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.

Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!

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

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!

7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.

Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.

9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.

Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.

10 Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led me unto Edom?

Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 Hast not thou cast us off, O God? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?

12 Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.

Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.

Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
