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#In Hebrew texts 108:1-13 is numbered 108:2-14.
A song. A psalm of David.
1My heart, O God, is steadfast;
I will sing and make music with all my soul.
2Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
3I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
4For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
6Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.
7God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
8Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah is my scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?
12Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.
13With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.
