< 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.
A Song [or] Psalm of David. 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 LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to 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] to 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 measure 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 my 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 will tread down our enemies.
