Psalms 108

1 A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.

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 Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.

3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to 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 covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

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

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.

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

6 So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us 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 apportion 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, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

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

9 Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.

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 to Edom?”

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

11 God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

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

12 Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

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

13 We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.

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