Psalms 108
108
Prayer for Victory
1A song; a psalm of David.
I
2My heart is steadfast, God;#Ps 57:8–12.
my heart is steadfast.
Let me sing and chant praise.
3Awake, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn.#Jb 38:12.
4I will praise you among the peoples, Lord;
I will chant your praise among the nations.#Ps 9:12; 18:50; 148:13.
5For your mercy is greater than the heavens;
your faithfulness, to the skies.#Ps 36:6; 71:19.
II
6Appear on high over the heavens, God;
your glory above all the earth.
7Help with your right hand and answer us
that your loved ones may escape.
8God speaks in his holiness:#Holiness: may also be translated as “sanctuary” or as referring to God’s heavenly abode.#Ps 60:8–14.
“I will exult, I will apportion Shechem;
the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh;
Ephraim is the helmet for my head,
Judah, my scepter.
10Moab is my washbowl;
upon Edom I cast my sandal;#Ru 4:7–8.
I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
11Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
12Was it not you who rejected us, God?
Do you no longer march with our armies?#Ps 44:10.
13Give us aid against the foe;
worthless is human help.
14We will triumph with the help of God,
who will trample down our foes.

Psalm 108
108
With God We Shall Do Valiantly
A Song. A Psalm of David.
1 # For ver. 1-5, see Ps. 57:7-11 My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being!#108:1 Hebrew with my glory
2Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
3I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4For your steadfast love is great #[Ps. 113:4]above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 # For ver. 6-13, see Ps. 60:5-12 That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer me!
7God has promised in his holiness:#108:7 Or sanctuary
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
# [Ps. 60:8] over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12Oh grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
13With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
