Psalm 108:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷Our God, from your holy place
    you made this promise:
“I will gladly divide up
    the city of Shechem
and give away Succoth Valley
    piece by piece.
⁸The lands of Gilead
    and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
and Judah is my symbol
    of royal power.
⁹Moab is merely my washbasin,
    and Edom belongs to me.
I shout with victory
    over the Philistines.”
