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
A praise song of David.
1God, I am ready, heart and soul,
to sing songs of praise.
Wake up, my soul!
2Harps and lyres, wake up,
and let’s wake the dawn!
3Lord, I will praise you before all people.
I will sing praises about you to every nation.
4Your faithful love is higher
than the highest clouds in the sky!
5Rise above the heavens, God.
Let all the world see your glory.
6Use your great power and help us!
Answer my prayer and save the people you love.
7God has made this promise in his Temple#108:7 in his Temple Or “in his holiness.”:
“I will win the war and rejoice in victory!
I will divide this land among my people.
I will give them Shechem.
I will give them Succoth Valley.
8Gilead and Manasseh will be mine.
Ephraim will be my helmet.
Judah will be my royal scepter.
9Moab will be the bowl for washing my feet.
Edom will be the slave who carries my sandals.
I will defeat the Philistines and shout in victory!”
10-11But, God, it seems that you have left us!
You do not go out with our army.
So who will lead me into the strong, protected city?
Who will lead me into battle against Edom?
12Help us defeat the enemy!
No one on earth can rescue us.
13Only God can make us strong.
Only God can defeat our enemies!
