The Psalms 108


A Prayer for Help against the Foe
Ps. 57.7 · 12.7
A Song or Psalm of David.

1  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  Gil’e-ad is mine; Manas’seh is mine;
        
E’phra-im 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 Philis’ti-a 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.
