Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

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 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

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

3 I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

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

6 To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

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 apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

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

8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

12 Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.

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