Psalm 108

Psalm 108

A song. A psalm of David.

1 My heart is confident in you, O God;
no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!2 Wake up, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn with my song.3 I will thank you, LORD, among all the people.
I will sing your praises among the nations.4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth.6 Now rescue your beloved people.
Answer and save us by your power.7 God has promised this by his holinesst:
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.8 Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.9 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me victory over Edom?11 Have you rejected us, O God?
Will you no longer march with our armies?12 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.13 With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

PSALMS 108

With God on Our Side

1 Our God, I am faithful to you
with all my heart,
and you can trust me.
I will sing
and play music for you
with all that I am.

2 I will start playing my harps
before the sun rises.

3 I will praise you, [Lord],
for everyone to hear;
I will sing hymns to you
in every nation.

4 Your love reaches higher
than the heavens,
and your loyalty extends
beyond the clouds.

5 Our God, may you be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.

6 Answer my prayers
and use your powerful arm
to give us victory.
Then the people you love
will be safe.

7 Our God, from your holy place
you made this promise:
“I will gladly divide up
the city of Shechem
and give away Succoth Valley
piece by piece.

8 The lands of Gilead
and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
and Judah is my symbol
of royal power.

9 Moab is merely my washbasin,
and Edom belongs to me.
I shout with victory
over the Philistines.”

10 Our God, who will bring me
to the fortress
or lead me to Edom?

11 Have you rejected us?
You don't lead our armies.

12 Help us defeat our enemies!
No one else can rescue us.

13 Only you give us victory
and crush our enemies.
