Psalm 108:1-13

A Song, a Melody: David’s. 108  Fixed is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.  Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!  I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, And will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.  For great above the heavens is thy lovingkindness, And as far as the skies thy faithfulness.  Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth be thy glory.  To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!  God hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And the Vale of Succoth will I measure out;  Mine is Gilead—mine Manasseh But Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah is my commander’s staff;  Moab is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia raise a shout of triumph. 10  Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom? 11  Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? And wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts? 12  Grant us help out of distress, For vain is the deliverance of man: 13  In God shall we do valiantly, He himself therefore shall tread down our adversaries.
