Psalms 108

1A song. A psalm of David.

2My heart is firm, O God;I will sing and chant a hymn with all my soul.

3Awake, O harp and lyre!I will wake the dawn.

4I will praise You among the peoples, O ETERNAL One,sing a hymn to You among the nations;

5for Your faithfulness is higher than the heavens;Your steadfastness reaches to the sky.

6Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God;let Your glory be over all the earth!

7That those whom You love may be rescued,deliver with Your right hand and answer me.

8God promised in the sanctuary that I would exultingly divide up Shechem,and measure the Valley of Sukkoth;

9Gilead and Manasseh would be mine,Ephraim my chief stronghold,Judah my scepter;

10Moab would be my washbasin;on Edom I would cast my shoe;I would raise a shout over Philistia.

11Would that I were brought to the bastion!Would that I were led to Edom!

12But You have rejected us, O God;God, You do not march with our armies.

13Grant us Your aid against the foe,for human help is worthless.

14We shall triumph with God,who will trample our foes.
