| 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.
