| Chapter 108 |
1 | A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
2 | Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early. |
3 | I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. |
4 | For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds. |
5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; |
6 | That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me. |
7 | God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
8 | Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; |
9 | Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. |
10 | Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
11 | [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
12 | Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. |
13 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies. |
