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.

Psalm 108
A Song or Psalm of David.
1¶ O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise; this is my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reaches unto the heavens.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens and thy glory above all the earth;
6¶ that thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead shall be mine; Manasseh shall be mine; Ephraim also shall be the strength of my head; Judah shall be my lawgiver;
9Moab shall be my washpot; over Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia I will triumph.
10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11Surely thou, O God, who had cast us off and did not, O God, go forth with our hosts.
12Give us help from trouble; for the salvation of man is deception.
13Through God we shall do valiantly, for he shall tread down our enemies again.
