Psalm 108
108
A Prayer for Help against the Foe
(Psalm 57.7-11; 60.5-12)
A Song or Psalm of David.
1O God, my heart is fixed;
I will sing and give praise,
even with my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake early.
3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens:
and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
and thy glory above all the earth;
6that thy beloved may be delivered:
save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7God hath spoken in his holiness;
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gil´e-ad is mine; Manas´seh is mine;
E´phra-im also is the strength of mine head;
Judah is my lawgiver;
9Moab is my washpot;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe;
over Philis´ti-a will I triumph.
10Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly:
for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

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.
