< Psalms 108 >

1 A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, amongst the people; I will sing praise to you amongst the Gentiles.
4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] to the clouds.
For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
That your beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of my head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city: who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
