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. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
