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, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

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

3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

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

4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

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

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

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

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

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

7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out 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, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

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

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 unto Edom?

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

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

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

Give us help against the adversary; 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; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
