< Psalms 108 >

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
