Psalms 108

PSALM 108
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song or Psalm of David.
1My heart is fix'd, Lord; I will sing,
and with my glory praise.
2Awake up psaltery and harp;
myself I'll early raise.
3I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
'mong nations sing will I:
4For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
thy truth doth reach the sky.
5Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
exalted gloriously;
Thy glory all the earth above
be lifted up on high.
6That those who thy beloved are
delivered may be,
O do thou save with thy right hand,
and answer give to me.
7God in his holiness hath said,
Herein I will take pleasure;
Shechem I will divide, and forth
will Succoth's valley measure.
8Gilead I claim as mine by right;
Manasseh mine shall be;
Ephraim is of my head the strength;
Judah gives laws for me;
9Moab's my washing-pot; my shoe
I'll over Edom throw;
Over the land of Palestine
I will in triumph go.
10O who is he will bring me to
the city fortify'd?
O who is he that to the land
of Edom will me guide?
11O God, thou who hadst cast us off,
this thing wilt thou not do?
And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, O God,
forth with our armies go?
12Do thou from trouble give us help,
for helpless is man's aid.
13Through God we shall do valiantly;
our foes he shall down tread.

Psalms 108
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 #Or sanctuaryholiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
And measure out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My #Or lawgiverscepter.
9Moab 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.
