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 by David.] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
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 give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
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: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 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 wash pot. I will toss 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 has led me to Edom?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
