Psalms 108

Psalm 108

God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

A Song, a Psalm of David.

1My heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

2Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

3I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the skies.

5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

6That Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7God has spoken in His holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;

Judah is My scepter.

9“Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will shout aloud.”

10Who will bring me into the besieged city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?

And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

12Oh give us help against the adversary,

For deliverance by man is in vain.

13Through God we will do valiantly,

And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
