Psalms

108 My heart is firm, God;

I will sing and give praise.

2 Wake, my glory! wake, harp and lyre!

I will wake the dawn.

3 I will give you thanks among the nations, Jehovah,

I will make music among many a folk,

4 Because your friendliness is great to the skies

and your loyalty to the uppermost air.

5 Abide aloft, God, above the sky,

your glory above all the earth.

6 So that your darlings may be delivered

save with your right hand and answer us.

7 God spoke in his sanctuary:

“I will triumph, will divide Shekem,

will measure off Succoth Vale;

8 Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine,

and Ephraim is the keep of my head;

Judah is my baton.

9 Moab is my bathtub,

on Edom I throw my sandal,

over Philistia are my hurrahs.”

10 Who will bring me to a city for a siege?

who has led me through to Edom?

11 Have not you, God, repudiated us?

and you do not go out, God, in our campaigns.

12 Give us help from a foe—

human salvation is futile.

13 Through God we shall play a sturdy part,

and he himself will trample down our foes.
