Psalm 108

A Psalm of  David

My heart is steadfast in its faith in you, O God,
I will sing and give praise to you with all my soul.
Awaken, O harp and lyre, and bring up the dawn.
I will extol you among the people, Jehovah
And sing your praises among the heathen nations.
For great is your devotion, higher than the heavens,
And your faithfulness reaches to the firmament.
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens
And may your glory be spread across the whole world
That those who are your beloved may be delivered.
Answer me and save me with your divine power.

God has spoken from his sanctuary,
“With pleasure will I apportion Shechem
And divide up the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim, my helmet; Judah, my scepter;
Moab will I use as my washbasin;
Upon Edom do I toss my sandal;
Over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Who will bring me into the fortress?
Who will lead me into Edom?
Have you not rejected us, O God?
Will you not go out to battle
With our armies any more, O God?
Give us aid against the enemy,
For human help is of no avail.
With God we will fight with valor,
And he will trample down our foes.
