Psalm 108

A Plea for Victory

A song. A psalm of David.

¹My heart is confident, God;
I will sing; I will sing praises
with the whole of my being.^[a]^(A)
²Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.^(B)
³I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.^(C)
⁴For your faithful love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.^(D)
⁵God, be exalted above the heavens,^(E)
and let your glory be over the whole earth.^(F)
⁶Save with your right hand and answer me
so that those you love may be rescued.^(G)

⁷God has spoken in his sanctuary:^[b]
“I will celebrate!
I will divide up Shechem.^(H)
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.^(I)
⁸Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine,
and Ephraim is my helmet;^(J)
Judah is my scepter.^(K)
⁹Moab is my washbasin;^(L)
I throw my sandal on Edom.^(M)
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”^(N)

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?^(O)
¹¹God, haven’t you rejected us?
God, you do not march out with our armies.^(P)
¹²Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.^(Q)
¹³With God we will perform valiantly;^(R)
he will trample our foes.^(S)

Christian Standard Bible

Believers Are Salt and Light

¹³“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty?^[a] It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.^(A)

¹⁴“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.^(B) ¹⁵No one lights a lamp^(C) and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house.^(D) ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.^(E)
