Psalm 108

PSALM 108

God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

A Song, a Psalm of David.

^1aMy heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my ¹soul.

²Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

³I will give thanks to You, O Lord, 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, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

^6aThat Your beloved may be delivered,

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 shout aloud.”

^10aWho will bring me into the besieged city?

Who ¹will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have not You Yourself, O God, ^arejected us?

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

¹²Oh give us help against the adversary,

For ^adeliverance ¹by man is in vain.

¹³¹Through God we will do valiantly,

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