Psalms 108

Psalm 108

Praise and Supplication to God for Victory.

1O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith]; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

2Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn!

3I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people; And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens; Your truth reaches to the skies.

5Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth.

6That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people], And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense]; Judah is My scepter.

9Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine]; Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

10Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom?

11Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

12Give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].

13With God we will do valiantly, For it is He who will trample down our enemies.
