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 song. A psalm of David.
1God, I have complete confidence in you! My whole being sings praises to you!
2Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
3I will thank you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing your praises among the nations.#108:3 These verses are almost the same as Psalms 57:8-9.
4For your trustworthy love reaches higher than the heavens, your faithfulness is higher than the clouds.
5God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory is over all the earth!#108:5. This verse is the same as Psalms 57:11.
6Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
7God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
9I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11Have you rejected us, God? Won't you go out with our armies?
12Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
13Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.#108:13 These verses (6-13) are substantially the same as Psalms 60:5-12. For footnotes see Psalms 60.
