Psalms 108
108
1-2I’m ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe.
Ready to sing,
ready to raise a God-song:
“Wake, soul! Wake, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!”
3-6I’m thanking you, God, out in the streets,
singing your praises in town and country.
The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
every cloud’s a flag to your faithfulness.
Soar high in the skies, O God!
Cover the whole earth with your glory!
And for the sake of the one you love so much,
reach down and help me—answer me!
7-9That’s when God spoke in holy splendor:
“Brimming over with joy,
I make a present of Shechem,
I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.
Gilead’s in my pocket,
to say nothing of Manasseh.
Ephraim’s my hard hat,
Judah my hammer.
Moab’s a scrub bucket—
I mop the floor with Moab,
Spit on Edom,
rain fireworks all over Philistia.”
10-11Who will take me to the thick of the fight?
Who’ll show me the road to Edom?
You aren’t giving up on us, are you, God?
refusing to go out with our troops?
12-13Give us help for the hard task;
human help is worthless.
In God we’ll do our very best;
he’ll flatten the opposition for good.

Tehillim (Psalms) 108
108
1O Elohim, my heart is steadfast; I sing and give praise – even my esteem.
2Awake, harp and lyre! I awake the dawn.
3I praise You, O יהוה, among peoples, And I sing praises to You among the nations.
4For Your loving-commitment is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5Exalt Yourself above the heavens, O Elohim, And Your esteem above all the earth;
6In order that those You love Might be delivered. Save with Your right hand, And answer me.
7Elohim has spoken in His set-apartness, “I exult, I portion out Sheḵem, And I measure out the Valley of Sukkoth.
8Gil‛aḏ is Mine, Menashsheh is Mine, And Ephrayim is My chief defence, Yehuḏah is My inscriber.#See Gen. 49:10 and Psa. 60:7
9Mo’aḇ is My wash-pot, Over Eḏom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I raise a shout.
10Who would bring me into the strong city? Who shall lead me to Eḏom?
11Have You not rejected us, O Elohim? And You do not go out with our armies, O Elohim!
12Give us help from distress, For the help of man is naught.
13In Elohim we do mightily, For it is He who treads down our adversaries.
