Psalm 108
International Standard Version
A song. A Davidic psalm.
A Plea for Victory
108 My heart is firm, God;
I will sing and praise you with my whole being.
2 Awake, harp and lyre!
I will wake up at dawn.
3 I will give thanks to you among the peoples, Lord!
I will sing praise to you among the nations.
4 For your gracious love extends to the sky,[a]
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 May you be exalted above the heavens, God,
and your glory be over all the earth.
6 In order that those you love may be rescued,
deliver with your power[b] and answer me!
7 God had promised in his sanctuary:
“I will triumph and divide Shechem,
then I will measure the valley of Succoth!
8 Gilead and Manasseh belong to me,
while Ephraim is my chief stronghold
and Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab is my washbasin;
I will fling my shoe on Edom
and shout over Philistia.”
10 Who will lead me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me as far as Edom?
11 God, you have rejected us, have you not,
since you did not march out with our army, God?
12 Give us help against the enemy,
because human help is useless.[c]
13 I will find strength in God,
for he will trample on our foes.

Psalm 108
1 Een lied van David.
2 Ik ben veilig bij U, God.
Ik zal van harte dankliederen voor U zingen.
3 Ik maak muziek op mijn harp en mijn citer.
Ik wil de zon wakker maken met mijn muziek.
4 Ik zal U prijzen en voor U zingen.
De landen en volken zullen het horen.
5 Want zo hoog als de hemel is, zó groot is uw liefde.
Uw trouw komt tot aan de hoogste wolken.
6 God, laat aan de hemel en aan de hele aarde zien
hoe machtig U bent.
7 Heer, antwoord ons en red ons door uw kracht.
Bevrijd het volk waar U zoveel van houdt.
8 God heeft in zijn heiligdom tot mij gesproken.
Juichend spring ik op.
"Ik zal Sichem verdelen.
Het Sukkot-dal zal ik opmeten om het te verdelen.
9 Gilead en Manasse zijn van mij.
Efraïm is mijn helm,
Juda is mijn heersersstaf.
10 Moab is mijn waskom en moet mij dienen.
Op Edom zet ik mijn voeten neer.
Filistea overwin ik."
11 Wie zal onze aanvoerder zijn naar Edom?
Wie zal ons helpen om die sterke burcht te veroveren?
12 U toch zeker, God?
Eerst had U ons in de steek gelaten.
Maar nu zult U toch zeker ons leger willen aanvoeren?
13 Help ons tegen onze vijanden,
want aan hulp van mensen hebben we niets.
14 Met God zullen we heldendaden doen.
Want Hijzelf zal onze vijanden vernietigen.
