Psalm 108(A)

A Song. A Psalm of David.

O God, my heart is determined;
    I will sing and give praise with my whole heart.
Awake, O lyre and harp!
    I will awake at dawn!
I will praise you, O Lord, among the peoples,
    and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
For Your mercy is great above the heavens;
    Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
    may Your glory be above all the earth.

That Your beloved ones may be delivered,
    provide salvation with Your right hand and answer me.
God has spoken in His sanctuary:
    “I will triumph and will divide up Shechem
    and portion out the Valley of Sukkoth.
Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
    Ephraim is My helmet;
    Judah is My royal scepter;
Moab is My washbasin;
    on Edom I throw My shoe;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
    Who will lead me into Edom?
11 Have You not rejected us, O God?
    You surely do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12 Grant us help against the foe,
    for the help of man is worthless.
13 Through God we shall be valiant,
    for He shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 108[a](A)(B)

A song. A psalm of David.

My heart, O God, is steadfast;(C)
    I will sing(D) and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!(E)
    I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love,(F) higher than the heavens;
    your faithfulness(G) reaches to the skies.(H)
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;(I)
    let your glory be over all the earth.(J)

Save us and help us with your right hand,(K)
    that those you love may be delivered.
God has spoken(L) from his sanctuary:(M)
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(N)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(O)
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet,
    Judah(P) is my scepter.
Moab(Q) is my washbasin,
    on Edom(R) I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia(S) I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(U)
13 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down(V) our enemies.
