Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
Ein Psalmlied. Von David. O Gott, mein Herz ist bereit: ich will singen und spielen; wach auf, meine Seele!
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Psalter und Harfe, wacht auf! Ich will die Morgenröte wecken.
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
HERR, ich will dir danken unter den Völkern und dir singen unter den Nationen;
4 because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
denn groß bis über den Himmel ist deine Gnade, und bis an die Wolken reicht deine Treue.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Erhebe dich über die Himmel, o Gott, und über die ganze Erde deine Herrlichkeit!
6 Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
Auf daß deine Geliebten errettet werden, laß siegen deine Rechte und erhöre uns!
7 And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
Gott hat gesprochen in seinem Heiligtum: «Ich will frohlocken! Ich will Sichem verteilen und das Tal Suchot ausmessen.
8 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
Gilead ist mein, Manasse ist mein, Ephraim ist meines Hauptes Wehr, Juda mein Herrscherstab;
9 the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab ist mein Waschbecken, über Edom werfe ich meinen Schuh, über Philistäa jauchze ich!»
10 [Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
Wer führt mich in eine feste Stadt, wer geleitet mich bis nach Edom?
11 God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
Hast du, o Gott, uns nicht verstoßen und willst nicht ausziehen, o Gott, mit unserm Heer?
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Schaffe uns Hilfe in der Not, denn eitel ist Menschenhilfe!
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
Mit Gott wollen wir Taten tun; er wird unsre Feinde untertreten.
