Chapter 108

A Song or Psalm of David. 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 to thee among the nations.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth to 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 measure out the valley of Succoth.

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

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

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

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

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

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
