Psalms 108
108
Prayer to Yahweh for Victory over Enemies
A song. A psalm of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1My heart is steadfast, O God.
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2Awake, harp and lyre.
I will awake the dawn.#Or “I will awake at dawn”
3I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh;
I will give you praise among the nations,
4because your loyal love is great above the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God,
and let your glory be above all the earth,
6so that your beloved ones may be rescued.
Save by your right hand and answer me.
7God has spoken in his holiness,
“I will exult, I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.
And Ephraim is the helmet for#Literally “protection of” my head.
Judah is my scepter;#Or “commander’s rod”
9Moab is my washing pot.
Over Edom I will cast my sandal;
Over Philistia I will shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have you not rejected us, O God,
and not gone out with our armies, O God?
12Give us help against the enemy,
for the help of humankind is futile.
13Through God we will do valiantly,#Hebrew “do might”
and it is he who will tread down our enemies.

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.
