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
A song. A Psalm of David.
1 O GOD, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]!
2 Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early–I will waken the dawn!
3 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies! [Ps. 57:7-11.]
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.
6 That Your beloved [followers] may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us! [or me]!
7 God has promised in His holiness [regarding the establishment of David's dynasty]: I will rejoice, I will distribute [Canaan among My people], dividing Shechem and [the western region and allotting the eastern region which contains] the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My stronghold and the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter and lawgiver. [Gen. 49:10.]
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom [My slave] My shoe I cast [to be cleaned]; over Philistia I shout [in triumph].
10 Who will bring me [David] into the strong, fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Have You not cast us off, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
13 Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries. [Ps. 60:5-12.]
