Psalm 108

Psalm 108

Praise and Prayer for Victory

A Song. A Psalm of David.

¹My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;^o

I will sing and make melody.

Awake, my soul!^p*

²Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake 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 steadfast love is higher than the heavens,

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.^*

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

and let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,

so that those whom you love may be rescued.^*

⁷God has promised in his sanctuary:^q

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem

and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.^*

⁹Moab is my washbasin;

on Edom I hurl my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have you not rejected us, O God?

You do not go out, O God, with our armies.^*

¹²O grant us help against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

¹³With God we shall do valiantly;

it is he who will tread down our foes.
