< 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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!
Awake, psaltery 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 Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.
For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
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 above all the earth Thy honour.
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 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 hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, 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, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not 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 vain is the salvation of man.
13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
