Psalms 108

108

A song. A psalm of David.

1My heart is confident in you, O God;

no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

2Wake up, lyre and harp!

I will wake the dawn with my song.

3I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.

I will sing your praises among the nations.

4For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.

May your glory shine over all the earth.

6Now rescue your beloved people.

Answer and save us by your power.

7God has promised this by his holiness#108:7 Or in his sanctuary.:

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.

I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine,

and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

9But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,

and I will wipe my feet on Edom

and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

10Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will bring me victory over Edom?

11Have you rejected us, O God?

Will you no longer march with our armies?

12Oh, please help us against our enemies,

for all human help is useless.

13With God’s help we will do mighty things,

for he will trample down our foes.

Assurance of God’s Victory over Enemies

A Song. A Psalm of David.

1O #Ps. 57:7–11God, my heart is steadfast;

I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2#Ps. 57:8–11Awake, lute and harp!

I will awaken the dawn.

3I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4For Your mercy is great above the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the clouds.

5#Ps. 57:5, 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth;

6#Ps. 60:5–12That Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

7God has spoken in His holiness:

“I will rejoice;

I will divide Shechem

And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet for My head;

#(Gen. 49:10)Judah is My lawgiver.

9Moab is My washpot;

Over Edom I will cast My shoe;

Over Philistia I will triumph.”

10#Ps. 60:9Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?

And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?

12Give us help from trouble,

For the help of man is useless.

13#Ps. 60:12Through God we will do valiantly,

For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
