Psalms Chapter 108

A Song. A Psalm of David

¹ I’m steadfast, God;

      I’ll sing praises in my heart.

² Wake up, harp and lyre;

      I’ll wake up at dawn!

³ I’ll thank you, LORD, among the nations

            and sing praises to you everywhere,

         ⁴because your enduring love is bigger than the sky;

            your truth is as high as the heavens.

⁵ Be lifted up, God, above the sky;

      display your glory the world over.

⁶ Save with your power and answer me

      so your beloved can be delivered.                                   

Ps 108:1-6

⁷ God has spoken in his holiness:

            “I’ll gladly divide up Shechem.

         ⁸Gilead and Manasseh belong to me;

            Ephraim, my helmet;

            Judah, my scepter;

                  ⁹Moab, my washbasin;

      I’ll wipe my feet on Edom

            and shout in triumph over Philistia.”                        

Ps 108:7-9

¹⁰ Who will take me to the besieged city?

      Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹ Are you rejecting us, God?

      Aren’t you going out with our armies?

¹² Help us against our adversary

      because human help can’t save us.

¹³ Through you, we’ll do mightily;

      you can tramp down our enemies.                                   

Ps 108:10-13
