Psalms 108

Ode of a psalm to David.

108:1My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I shall sing and strum in my glory.

108:2Awake, O my glory! Awake, psaltery and harp! I will be awakened at dawn.

108:3I will make acknowledgment to you among peoples, O lord; I shall strum to you among nations.

108:4For great above the heavens is your mercy; and unto the clouds is your truth.

108:5Be raised up high above the heavens, O God, and above all the earth with your glory!

108:6so that your beloved should be rescued. Deliver with your right hand, and heed me!

108:7God spoke in his holy place. I shall be raised up high, and I shall divide Shechem into parts; and the valley of the tents I will measure out.

108:8Mine is Gilead; and mine is Manasseh; and Ephraim is the assistance of my head;

108:9Judah is my king; Moab the kettle of my hope; upon Edom I will put my sandal; the Philistines are submitted to me.

108:10Who shall take me away into a city of a citadel? or who shall guide me to Edom?

108:11Is it not you, O God, the one thrusting us away? And will you not go forth, O God, with our forces?

108:12Give to us help from out of affliction, for deliverance of man is vain!

108:13In God we shall execute power, and he shall treat our enemies with contempt.
