Psalms 108

1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

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.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.

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

4 For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.

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

5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;

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

6 That your beloved may be delivered: save with your right hand, and answer me.

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

7 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

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

9 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

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

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

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

11 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?

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

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

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

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

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