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.

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.
