Psalm 108
Praise and Supplication to God for Victory.
A Song. A Psalm of David.
1O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith];
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.
2Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!
3I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people;
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies. [Ps 57:7-11]
5Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth.
6That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
7¶God has spoken in His #108:7 Or sanctuary.holiness:
“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense];
Judah is My #108:8 Or lawgiver.scepter. [Gen 49:10]
9“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];
Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”
10¶Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have You not rejected us, O God?
And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?
12Give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].
13 # 108:13 Or In or Through. With God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who will trample down our enemies. [Ps 60:5-12]

Psalms 108
108
A Prayer for Help against Enemies#Ps 108 Hebrew title: A psalm by David; a song.
(Ps 57.7–11; 60.5–12)
1I have complete confidence, O God!
I will sing and praise you!
Wake up, my soul!
2Wake up, my harp and lyre!
I will wake up the sun.
3I will thank you, O LORD, among the nations.
I will praise you among the peoples.
4Your constant love reaches above the heavens;
your faithfulness touches the skies.
5Show your greatness in the sky, O God,
and your glory over all the earth.
6Save us by your might; answer my prayer,
so that the people you love may be rescued.
7From his sanctuary#108.7 From his sanctuary; or In his holiness. God has said,
“In triumph I will divide Shechem
and distribute the Valley of Sukkoth to my people.
8Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too;
Ephraim is my helmet
and Judah my royal sceptre.
9But I will use Moab as my washbasin
and I will throw my sandals on Edom,
as a sign that I own it.
I will shout in triumph over the Philistines.”
10Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have you really rejected us?
Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
12Help us against the enemy;
human help is worthless.
13With God on our side we will win;
he will defeat our enemies.
