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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 108
108
1O Elohim, my heart is steadfast; I sing and give praise – even my esteem.
2Awake, harp and lyre! I awake the dawn.
3I praise You, O יהוה, among peoples, And I sing praises to You among the nations.
4For Your loving-commitment is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5Exalt Yourself above the heavens, O Elohim, And Your esteem above all the earth;
6In order that those You love Might be delivered. Save with Your right hand, And answer me.
7Elohim has spoken in His set-apartness, “I exult, I portion out Sheḵem, And I measure out the Valley of Sukkoth.
8Gil‛aḏ is Mine, Menashsheh is Mine, And Ephrayim is My chief defence, Yehuḏah is My inscriber.#See Gen. 49:10 and Psa. 60:7
9Mo’aḇ is My wash-pot, Over Eḏom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I raise a shout.
10Who would bring me into the strong city? Who shall lead me to Eḏom?
11Have You not rejected us, O Elohim? And You do not go out with our armies, O Elohim!
12Give us help from distress, For the help of man is naught.
13In Elohim we do mightily, For it is He who treads down our adversaries.
