| 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.
