Psalms 108
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
