Psalm 108
108
A song. A Psalm of David.
1 O GOD, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]!
2 Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early–I will waken the dawn!
3 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies! [Ps. 57:7-11.]
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.
6 That Your beloved [followers] may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us! [or me]!
7 God has promised in His holiness [regarding the establishment of David's dynasty]: I will rejoice, I will distribute [Canaan among My people], dividing Shechem and [the western region and allotting the eastern region which contains] the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My stronghold and the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter and lawgiver. [Gen. 49:10.]
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom [My slave] My shoe I cast [to be cleaned]; over Philistia I shout [in triumph].
10 Who will bring me [David] into the strong, fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Have You not cast us off, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
13 Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries. [Ps. 60:5-12.]

Psalms 108
108
A Song, a Psalm Of David.
1My heart is fixed, O God;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake right early.
3I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples:
And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens,
And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
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 us.
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;
Ephraim also is the defence of mine head;
Judah is my sceptre.
9Moab is my washpot;
Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:
Over Philistia will I shout.
10Who will bring me into the fenced city?
Who hath led me unto Edom?
11Hast not thou cast us off, O God?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
12Give us help against the adversary:
For vain is the help of man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly:
For he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
