Chapter 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. |
