Psalm 108

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Praise and Prayer for Victory

A Song. A Psalm of David.

108 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
    Awake, my soul!
²Awake, O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
³I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples,
    I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
⁴For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens,
    thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!
⁶That thy beloved may be delivered,
give help by thy right hand, and answer me!

⁷God has promised in his sanctuary:^[a]
    “With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
    and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
⁸Gilead is mine; Manas′seh is mine;
    E′phraim is my helmet;
    Judah my scepter.
⁹Moab is my washbasin;
    upon Edom I cast my shoe;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹¹Hast thou not rejected us, O God?
    Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.
¹²O grant us help against the foe,
    for vain is the help of man!
¹³With God we shall do valiantly;
    it is he who will tread down our foes.
