Tehillim 108
Orthodox Jewish Bible
108 (Shir. Mizmor of Dovid) O Elohim, my lev is nachon; I will sing and make music, even with my kavod (glory, soul).
2 (3) Awake, nevel and kinnor; I will awaken the shachar (dawn).
3 (4) I will praise Thee, Hashem, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
4 (5) For Thy chesed is gadol above Shomayim; and Thy emes reacheth unto the clouds.
5 (6) Be Thou exalted, Elohim, above Shomayim; and Thy kavod above kol ha’aretz;
6 (7) That Thy beloved may be delivered; hoshiah (save) with Thy Yamin, and answer me.
7 (8) Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.
8 (9) Gil‘ad is Mine; Menasheh is Mine; Ephrayim also is the maoz of Mine rosh; Yehudah is My mechokek (lawgiver);
9 (10) Moav is My washbasin; over Edom will I toss My na’al (sandal); over Philistia will I shout in triumph.
10 (11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 (12) Wilt not Thou, Elohim, Who hast cast us off? And wilt not Thou, Elohim, go forth with our Tzivos?
12 (13) Give us help against the enemy; for vain is the teshuat adam (help of man).
13 (14) Through Elohim we shall do valiantly; for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.

1 My heart is confident, God;[a]
I will sing; I will sing praises
with the whole of my being.[b](A)
2 Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.(B)
3 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.(C)
4 For Your faithful love is higher than the heavens,
and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.(D)
5 God, be exalted above the heavens,(E)
and let Your glory be over the whole earth.(F)
6 Save with Your right hand and answer me
so that those You love may be rescued.(G)
7 God has spoken in His sanctuary:[c]
“I will triumph!
I will divide up Shechem.(H)
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.(I)
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine,
and Ephraim is My helmet;(J)
Judah is My scepter.(K)
9 Moab is My washbasin;(L)
I throw My sandal on Edom.(M)
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”(N)
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?(O)
11 God, haven’t You rejected us?
God, You do not march out with our armies.(P)
12 Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.(Q)
13 With God we will perform valiantly;(R)
He will trample our foes.(S)
