Psalms — Chapter 108

1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

1My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.

6That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.

10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

12Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

13Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 109 For the Chief Musicion. A Psalm of David.

1A song, a psalm of David. I am determined, O God. I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.

2Awake, O stringed instrument and harp. I will wake up at dawn.

3I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord. I will sing praises to you before foreigners.

4For your loyal love extends beyond the sky, and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

5Rise up above the sky, O God. May your splendor cover the whole earth.

6Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe.

7God has spoken in his sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Sukkoth I will measure off.

8Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh. Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

9Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

10Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?

11Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.

12Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile.

13By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.

1My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

2Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

3I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

4For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

6That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

7God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

9Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

12Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

13Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
