Psalms 108

Psalm 108

¹My heart is confident, O God.

I want to sing and make music even with my soul.

²Wake up, harp and lyre!

I want to wake up at dawn.

³I want to give thanks to you among the people, O Lord .

I want to make music to praise you among the nations

⁴because your mercy is higher than the heavens.

Your truth reaches the skies.

⁵May you be honored above the heavens, O God.

Let your glory extend over the whole earth.

⁶Save ⌞us⌟ with your powerful hand, and answer us

so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.

⁷God has promised the following through his holiness:

“I will triumph!

I will divide Shechem.

I will measure the valley of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine.

Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim is the helmet on my head.

Judah is my scepter.

⁹Moab is my washtub.

I will throw my shoe over Edom.

I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

¹⁰Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us?

Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?

¹²Give us help against the enemy

because human assistance is worthless.

¹³With God we will display great strength.

He will trample our enemies.
