Psalm 108

Psalm 108

A PLEA FOR VICTORY

A song. A psalm of David.

¹My heart is confident, God;

I will sing; I will sing praises

with the whole of my being.^Cj

²Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.^k

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

I will sing praises to you among the nations.^l

⁴For your faithful love is higher than the heavens,

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.^m

⁵God, be exalted above the heavens,ⁿ

and let your glory be over the whole earth.^o

⁶Save with your right hand and answer me

so that those you love may be rescued.^p

⁷God has spoken in his sanctuary:^A

“I will celebrate!

I will divide up Shechem.^q

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.^r

⁸Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine,

and Ephraim is my helmet;^s

Judah is my scepter.^t

⁹Moab is my washbasin;^u

I throw my sandal on Edom.^v

I shout in triumph over Philistia.”^w

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?^x

¹¹God, haven’t you rejected us?

God, you do not march out with our armies.^y

¹²Give us aid against the foe,

for human help is worthless.^z

¹³With God we will perform valiantly;^aa

he will trample our foes.^ab
