Chapter 108

A Song, a Psalm of David.

1

Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

2

Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

3

I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

4

For great above the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

5

Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

6

That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us.

7

God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

8

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver,

9

Moab is a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

10

Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

12

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

13

In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
