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.
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!
