Psalms 108
1 A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth to the clouds.
For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
God has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?”
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
