Psalms 108
1 [A Song. A Psalm by David.] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre. I will wake up the dawn.
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
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? Who has led me to Edom?
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
