Psalms 108

A Song. A Psalm by David.

¹My heart is steadfast, God.

I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

²Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.

³I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations.

I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

⁴For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁵Be exalted, God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶That your beloved may be delivered,

save with your right hand, and answer us.

⁷God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph,

I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim also is my helmet.

Judah is my scepter.

⁹Moab is my wash pot.

I will toss my sandal on Edom.

I will shout over Philistia.”

¹⁰Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Haven’t you rejected us, God?

You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

¹²Give us help against the enemy,

for the help of man is vain.

¹³Through God, we will do valiantly,

for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
