Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.

“A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.

2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.

3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!

4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.

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

Exalt thyself, 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 me.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!

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

God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.

9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.

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

Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?

12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!

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

Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
