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
1 The song of the psalm of David. Mine heart is ready, God, mine heart is ready; I shall sing, and I shall say psalm in my glory#108:1 Compare Psalm 108:1-5 to Psalm 57:7-11..
2My glory, rise thou up, psaltery and harp, rise thou up; I shall rise up early.
3Lord, I shall acknowledge to thee among peoples; and I shall say psalm to thee among nations.
4For why, God, thy mercy is great on heavens; and thy truth is till to the clouds.
5God, be thou enhanced above heavens; and thy glory over all earth.
6That thy darlings be delivered, make thou safe with thy right hand, and hear [thou] me#108:6 Compare Psalm 108:6-13 to Psalm 60:5-12.;
7God spake in his holy place. I shall make full out joy, and I shall part Shechem; and I shall mete [or measure] the great valley of tabernacles.
8Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the up-taking of mine head. Judah is my king;
9Moab is the cauldron of mine hope. Into Idumea I shall stretch forth my shoe; aliens be made friends to me.
10Who shall lead me forth into a strong city; who shall lead me forth till into Idumea?
11Whether not thou, God, that hast put us away; and, God, shalt thou not go out in our virtues or hosts?
12Give thou help to us out of tribulation; for the help of man is vain.
13We shall make virtue in God; and he shall bring our enemies to nought.
