< 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 or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
