Psalm 108

PSALM 108

He Will Tread Down Our Adversaries

A Song. A Psalm of David.

^1aMy heart is set, O God;

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

²Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

³I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

⁴For Your ^alovingkindness is great ^babove the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the skies.

^5aBe exalted above the heavens, O God,

And Your glory above all the earth.

^6aThat Your beloved may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

⁷God has spoken in His ¹holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁸“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the ¹helmet of My head;

^aJudah is My ²scepter.

⁹“Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will make a loud shout.”

^10aWho will bring me into the well-defended city?

Who ¹will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have You, O God, not ^arejected us?

And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?

¹²Oh give us help against the adversary,

For ^asalvation ¹by man is worthless.

¹³¹Through God we shall do valiantly,

And ^ait is He who will tread down our adversaries.
