< Psalms 108 >

1 A Song, a Psalm Of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto you among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.
For your mercy is great above the heavens: and your truth reachs unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: and your glory above all the earth;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
That your beloved may be delivered: save with your 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 has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout.
Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into 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 cast us off, O God? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
