Psalm 108
A Song. A Psalm of David.
O God, my heart is fixed, my heart is firmly fixed; I will sing and give praise with the best that I have.
Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp; I myself will awaken the dawn.
I will give thanks unto you, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises unto you among the nations,
For the greatness of your mercy reaches to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
That your beloved may be delivered, save me by your right hand, and answer me.
God has spoken in his holiness: “I will rejoice and divide Shechem, and parcel out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for my head; Judah is my scepter.
Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.”
Who will lead me into the strong city, and who will bring me into Edom?
Have you not forsaken us, O God? And will you not, O God, go forth with our hosts?
O help us against the enemy, for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do great acts, for it is he who shall tread down our enemies.
