Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

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 awake the dawn.

Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise 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 great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

For your mercy is great above the heavens, and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.

6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.

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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.

8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [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] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.

10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?

11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

Will not you, O God, who have rejected us? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

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

13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nothing our enemies.
