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 prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

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

Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.

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

I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.

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

For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

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

Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your 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 Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

7 God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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 lawgiver,

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

Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

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

Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

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

Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!

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

Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.

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

We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
