108 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 108[a](A)(B)

A song. A psalm of David.

My heart, O God, is steadfast;(C)
    I will sing(D) and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!(E)
    I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love,(F) higher than the heavens;
    your faithfulness(G) reaches to the skies.(H)
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;(I)
    let your glory be over all the earth.(J)

Save us and help us with your right hand,(K)
    that those you love may be delivered.
God has spoken(L) from his sanctuary:(M)
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(N)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(O)
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet,
    Judah(P) is my scepter.
Moab(Q) is my washbasin,
    on Edom(R) I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia(S) I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(U)
13 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down(V) our enemies.

Panalangin para Tulungan ng Dios(A)

108 O Dios, lubusan akong nagtitiwala sa inyo.
    Buong puso kitang aawitan ng mga papuri.
Gigising ako ng maaga
    at ihahanda ko ang alpa at mga instrumentong may mga kwerdas.
Panginoon, pupurihin kita sa gitna ng mga bansa.
    Akoʼy aawit para sa inyo sa gitna ng inyong mga mamamayan.
Dahil napakadakila at walang kapantay ang pag-ibig nʼyo at katapatan.
O Dios, ipakita nʼyo ang inyong kapangyarihan sa kalangitan at sa buong mundo.
Iligtas nʼyo kami sa pamamagitan ng inyong kapangyarihan.
    Pakinggan nʼyo kami,
    upang kaming mga iniibig nʼyo ay maligtas.
O Dios, sinabi nʼyo roon sa inyong templo,
    “Magtatagumpay ako! Hahatiin ko ang Shekem at ang Lambak ng Sucot,
    para ipamigay sa aking mga mamamayan.
Sa akin ang Gilead at Manase,
    ang Efraim ay gagawin kong tanggulan[a]
    at ang Juda ang aking tagapamahala.[b]
Ang Moab ang aking utusan[c] at ang Edom ay sa akin din.[d]
    Sisigaw ako ng tagumpay laban sa mga Filisteo.”

10 Sinong magdadala sa akin sa Edom
    at sa lungsod nito na napapalibutan ng pader?
11 Sino na ang makakatulong, O Dios, ngayong itinakwil nʼyo na kami?
    Ni hindi na nga kayo sumasama sa aming mga kawal.
12 Tulungan nʼyo kami laban sa aming mga kaaway,
    dahil ang tulong ng tao ay walang kabuluhan.
13 Sa tulong nʼyo, O Dios,
    kami ay magtatagumpay
    dahil tatalunin nʼyo ang aming mga kaaway.

Assurance of God’s Victory over Enemies(A)

A Song. A Psalm of David.

108 O (B)God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
(C)Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your mercy is great above the [a]heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the clouds.

(D)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth;
(E)That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and [b]hear me.

God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice;
I will divide Shechem
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the [c]helmet for My head;
(F)Judah is My lawgiver.
Moab is My washpot;
Over Edom I will cast My shoe;
Over Philistia I will triumph.”

10 (G)Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?
And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble,
For the help of man is useless.
13 (H)Through God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
