Psalms 108

1 A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.

O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2 Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

I will praise thee, O Yhwh, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.

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

6 So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.

That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.

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

8 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?”

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

11 God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

12 Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13 We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
