Psalm 108:1–9

1 My heart, O God, is steadfast;

I will sing and make music with all my soul.

2 Awake, harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

3 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;

I will sing of you among the peoples.

4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Save us and help us with your right hand,

that those you love may be delivered.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem

and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet,

Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin,

on Edom I toss my sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

1 O God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing and give praise,

Even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp:

I myself will awake early.

3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:

And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens:

And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:

And thy glory above all the earth;

6 That thy beloved may be delivered:

Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness;

I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

And mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is my washpot;

Over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

Over Philistia will I triumph.

1 My heart is confident in you, O God;

no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

2 Wake up, lyre and harp!

I will wake the dawn with my song.

3 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.

I will sing your praises among the nations.

4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.

May your glory shine over all the earth.

6 Now rescue your beloved people.

Answer and save us by your power.

7 God has promised this by his holiness:

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.

I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine,

and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

9 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,

and I will wipe my feet on Edom

and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

1 O God, my heart is steadfast;

I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2 Awake, lute and harp!
