Chapter 108

  A Song. A Psalm. Of David.
O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.  

-

  Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.  

-

  I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.  

-

  For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.  

-

  Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.  

-

  Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.  

-

  This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.  

-

  Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;  

-

  Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.  

-

  Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?  

-

  Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.  

-

  Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.  

-

  With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
