A Song. A Psalm by David.

108 My heart is steadfast, God.
    I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
Wake up, harp and lyre!
    I will wake up the dawn.
I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations.
    I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.
    Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth.
That your beloved may be delivered,
    save with your right hand, and answer us.
God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph,
    I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.
    Ephraim also is my helmet.
    Judah is my scepter.
Moab is my wash pot.
    I will toss my sandal on Edom.
    I will shout over Philistia.”
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
    Who has led me to Edom?
11 Haven’t you rejected us, God?
    You don’t go out, God, with our armies.
12 Give us help against the enemy,
    for the help of man is vain.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly.
    For it is he who will 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.
