Psalms 108

Psalm 108

A Plea for Victory

A song. A psalm of David.

¹My heart is confident, God; I will sing; I will sing praises with the whole of my being.²

³Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.⁴

⁵I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.⁶

⁷For your faithful love is higher than the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.⁸

⁹God, be exalted above the heavens, and let your glory be over the whole earth.¹⁰

¹¹Save with your right hand and answer me so that those you love may be rescued.¹²

¹³God has spoken in his sanctuary: “I will celebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.¹⁴

¹⁵Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.¹⁶

¹⁷Moab is my washbasin; I throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”¹⁸

¹⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?²⁰

²¹God, haven’t you rejected us? God, you do not march out with our armies.²²

²³Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.²⁴

²⁵With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes.²⁶
