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#108.0 Ps 108:1-5 parallels Ps 57:7-11; Ps 108:6-13 parallels Ps 60:5-12.
A song. A psalm of David.
1My heart is unwavering, God.
I will sing and make music—
yes, with my whole being!
2Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake the dawn itself!
3I will give thanks to you, LORD, among all the peoples;
I will make music to you among the nations,
4because your faithful love is higher than heaven;
your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
5Exalt yourself, God, higher than heaven!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6Save me by your power and answer me
so that the people you love might be rescued.
7God has spoken in his sanctuary:
“I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem
and portion out the Succoth Valley.
8Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
9But Moab is my washbowl;
I’ll throw my shoe at Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia!
10I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city!
I wish someone would lead me to Edom!”
11But you have rejected us, God, haven’t you?
You, God, no longer accompany our armies.
12Give us help against the enemy—
human help is worthless.
13With God we will triumph:
God is the one who will trample our adversaries.
