Psalm 108

With God We Shall Do Valiantly

A Song. A Psalm of David.

1  My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being!t
2  Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
3  I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4  For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

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

7  God has promised in his holiness:t
"With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8  Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.
9  Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph."

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

Psalm 108

1 My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

3 I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

9 Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.

10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11  Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

12 Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
