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.

A Song. A Psalm of David.
1 #
Ps 57.7-11. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
Awake, my soul!
2Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
3I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples,
I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens,
thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!
6 #
Ps 60.5-12. That thy beloved may be delivered,
give help by thy right hand, and answer me!
7God has promised in his sanctuary:#108.7 Or by his holiness
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah my scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Hast thou not rejected us, O God?
Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.
12O grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the help of man!
13With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
