Song of a Psalm by David. 108:1 O God, my
heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my
glory.
108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.
108:3 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing
praise to thee among the Gentiles.
108:4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to
the clouds.
108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the
earth.
108:6 That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand,
and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
108:7 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the
valley of tents.
108:8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine
head; Judas is my king;
108:9 Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the
Philistines are made subject to me.
108:10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to
Idumea?
108:11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God,
go forth with our hosts?
108:12 Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our
enemies. |
A Song [or] Psalm of David. 108:1 O god,
my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

unto thee among the nations.

the clouds.

answer me.
108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine
head; Judah is my lawgiver;
108:9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia
will I triumph.
108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
108:11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God,
go forth with our hosts?

our enemies. |
