Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4 because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6 Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7 And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9 the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10 [Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11 God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
