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.

Psalms 108
108
A Song, a Psalm of David.
1Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
6That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
7God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
9Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
