Psalms 108

1 A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

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

I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth.

6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

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

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.

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

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

11 Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?

12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.

Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
