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.

PSALM 108
A Song, a Psalm of David.
1My heart is fixed, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even with my glory. 2Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn. 3I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations: 4For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds. 5Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim and thy glory above all the earth.
6That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; 9Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud. 10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom? 11Wilt not thou, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim with our armies? 12Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance. 13Through God#GodHebrew: Elohim we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
