Psalms 108
108
A Prayer for Victory
A song of David.
1God, my heart is right.
I will sing and praise you with all my being.
2Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
3Lord, I will praise you among the nations.
I will sing songs of praise about you to all the nations.
4Your love is so great that it is higher than the skies.
Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5God, you are supreme over the skies.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
6Answer us and save us by your power.
Then the people you love will be rescued.
7God has said from his Temple,
“When I win, I will divide Shechem
and cut up the Valley of Succoth.
8Gilead and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is like my helmet.
Judah holds my royal scepter.
9Moab is like my washbowl.
I throw my sandals at Edom.
I shout at Philistia.”
10Who will bring me to the strong, walled city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11God, surely you have rejected us.
You do not go out with our armies.
12Help us fight the enemy.
Human help is useless.
13But we can win with God’s help.
He will defeat our enemies.

Psalm 108
108
A song. A Psalm of David.
1 O GOD, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]!
2 Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early–I will waken the dawn!
3 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies! [Ps. 57:7-11.]
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.
6 That Your beloved [followers] may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us! [or me]!
7 God has promised in His holiness [regarding the establishment of David's dynasty]: I will rejoice, I will distribute [Canaan among My people], dividing Shechem and [the western region and allotting the eastern region which contains] the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My stronghold and the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter and lawgiver. [Gen. 49:10.]
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom [My slave] My shoe I cast [to be cleaned]; over Philistia I shout [in triumph].
10 Who will bring me [David] into the strong, fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Have You not cast us off, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
13 Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries. [Ps. 60:5-12.]
