Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
Ein Psalmlied Davids.
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Mein Herz ist getrost, Elohim. / Ich will singen und spielen, / Ja, das soll meine Seele!
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
Wach auf, du Harfe und Zither! / Wecken will ich das Morgenrot.
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.
Unter Völkern, Adonái, will ich dich preisen, / Dir singen unter den Leuten.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Denn groß bis über die Himmel hinaus ist deine Gnade, / Bis zu den Wolken reicht deine Treu.
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.”
Elohim, erheb dich über die Himmel, / Deine Herrlichkeit über alle Welt!
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.
Damit deine Lieben gerettet werden, / So hilf denn mit deiner Rechten und hör uns!
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];
Elohim hat mir verheißen bei seinem heiligen Namen: / Frohlocken soll ich, austeilen Sichem / Und vermessen das Tal Sukkot.
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].”
Mein ist Gilead und mein Manasse, / Efraim schützt mein Haupt als Helm, / Juda ist mein Herrscherstab.
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]
Moab ist mein Waschbecken, / Auf Edom werf ich meinen Schuh. / Über Philistäa werd ich (als Sieger) jauchzen."
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].
Wer bringt mich hinein in die feste Stadt? / Wer führt mich hin nach Edom?
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Du, Elohim, du hast uns verworfen; / Du zogst nicht aus, Elohim, mit unsern Heeren.
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
O schaff uns Beistand gegen den Feind! / Denn nichtig ist Menschenhilfe. Mit Elohim verrichten wir Heldentaten. / Er wird unsre Feinde zertreten.
