108
Psalm 108#108:0 Verses 1–5 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 57:7–11; verses 6–13 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 60:5–12.
A song; a psalm by David.
1My heart is confident, O God.
I want to sing and make music even with my soul.#108:1 Or “my glory.”
2Wake up, harp and lyre!
I want to wake up at dawn.
3I want to give thanks to you among the people, O Lord.
I want to make music to praise you among the nations
4because your mercy is higher than the heavens.
Your truth reaches the skies.
5May you be honored above the heavens, O God.
Let your glory extend over the whole earth.
6Save ⌞us⌟ with your powerful hand, and answer us
so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.
7God has promised the following through his holiness:
“I will triumph!
I will divide Shechem.
I will measure the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine.
Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim is the helmet on my head.
Judah is my scepter.
9Moab is my washtub.
I will throw my shoe over Edom.
I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
10Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us?
Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?
12Give us help against the enemy
because human assistance is worthless.
13With God we will display great strength.
He will trample our enemies.

108
Praise and Prayer for Victory
A Song. A Psalm of David.
1My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;#108.1 Heb Mss Gk Syr: MT lacks my heart is steadfast
I will sing and make melody.
Awake, my soul!#108.1 Compare 57.8: Heb also my soul
2Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
3I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory be over all the earth.
6Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,
so that those whom you love may be rescued.
7God has promised in his sanctuary:#108.7 Or by his holiness
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin;
on Edom I hurl my shoe;
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.
12O grant us help against the foe,
for human help is worthless.
13With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
