Psalm 108 (New American Standard Bible)

Psalm 108

God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

A Song, a Psalm of David.

    ^1(A)My heart is steadfast, O God;
         I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.
    ²Awake, harp and lyre;
         I will awaken the dawn!
    ³I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples,
         And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
    ⁴For Your ^(B)lovingkindness is great ^(C)above the heavens,
         And Your truth reaches to the skies.
    ^5(D)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
         And Your glory above all the earth.
    ^6(E)That Your beloved may be delivered,
         Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
    ⁷God has spoken in His ^[a]holiness:
         "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
         And measure out the valley of Succoth.
    ⁸"Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
         Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
         ^(F)Judah is My ^[b]scepter.
    ⁹"Moab is My washbowl;
         Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
         Over Philistia I will shout aloud."
    ^10(G)Who will bring me into the besieged city?
         Who will lead me to Edom?
    ¹¹Have not You Yourself, O God, ^(H)rejected us?
         And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?
    ¹²Oh give us help against the adversary,
         For ^(I)deliverance by man is in vain.
    ¹³Through God we will do valiantly,
         And ^(J)it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
