108 My heart is steadfast, O God.
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
² Awake, harp and lyre.
I will awake the dawn.^[b]
3 I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh;
I will give you praise among the nations,
⁴ because your loyal love is great above the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
⁵ Be exalted above the heavens, O God,
and let your glory be above all the earth,
⁶ so that your beloved ones may be rescued.
Save by your right hand and answer me.
⁷ God has spoken in his holiness,
“I will exult, I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the valley of Succoth.
⁸ Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.
And Ephraim is the helmet for^[c] my head.
Judah is my scepter;^[d]
9 Moab is my washing pot.
Over Edom I will cast my sandal;
Over Philistia I will shout in triumph.”
¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
¹¹ Have you not rejected us, O God,
and not gone out with our armies, O God?
¹² Give us help against the enemy,
for the help of humankind is futile.
¹³ Through God we will do valiantly,^[e]
and it is he who will tread down our enemies.
