Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.

3 I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.

4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.

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

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

6 To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

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

8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.

10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

12 Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.

Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
