108 (Shir. Mizmor of Dovid) O Elohim, my lev is nachon; I will sing and make music, even with my kavod (glory, soul).

(3) Awake, nevel and kinnor; I will awaken the shachar (dawn).

(4) I will praise Thee, Hashem, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

(5) For Thy chesed is gadol above Shomayim; and Thy emes reacheth unto the clouds.

(6) Be Thou exalted, Elohim, above Shomayim; and Thy kavod above kol ha’aretz;

(7) That Thy beloved may be delivered; hoshiah (save) with Thy Yamin, and answer me.

(8) Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.

(9) Gil‘ad is Mine; Menasheh is Mine; Ephrayim also is the maoz of Mine rosh; Yehudah is My mechokek (lawgiver);

(10) Moav is My washbasin; over Edom will I toss My na’al (sandal); over Philistia will I shout in triumph.

10 (11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 (12) Wilt not Thou, Elohim, Who hast cast us off? And wilt not Thou, Elohim, go forth with our Tzivos?

12 (13) Give us help against the enemy; for vain is the teshuat adam (help of man).

13 (14) Through Elohim we shall do valiantly; for He it is that 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.
