Psalms 108

1 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.

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

2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

3 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.

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

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

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

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

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

6 That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;

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

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

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

8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;

Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,

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

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

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

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

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

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

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

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

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.

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