Psalms108

The psalmist, with a steadfast heart, declares his intention to praise God among all peoples for His great mercy and truth. He then appeals to God for deliverance and victory, recalling divine promises of territorial dominion. Despite feeling momentarily cast off, the psalmist affirms that through God alone, Israel will triumph over its adversaries.

A Heart Fixed on God's Praise

A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2
Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4
For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5
Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,

God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.

Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10
Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?

Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
