Psalm 108

A song. A psalm of David.

¹My heart is confident in you, O God;

no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

²Wake up, lyre and harp!

I will wake the dawn with my song.

³I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.

I will sing your praises among the nations.

⁴For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.

May your glory shine over all the earth.

⁶Now rescue your beloved people.

Answer and save us by your power.

⁷God has promised this by his holiness^a:

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.

I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine,

and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

⁹But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,

and I will wipe my feet on Edom

and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

¹⁰Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will bring me victory over Edom?

¹¹Have you rejected us, O God?

Will you no longer march with our armies?

¹²Oh, please help us against our enemies,

for all human help is useless.

¹³With God’s help we will do mighty things,

for he will trample down our foes.
