| 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 to thee among the nations. |
4 | For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth to 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 measure out the valley of Succoth. |
8 | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my 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 armies? |
12 | Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
13 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies. |
