Psalms 108

1 A song. A psalm of David. God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

3 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

11 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

12 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

13 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
