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

1
A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
2
Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
3
I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
4
For great above the heavens is Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
5
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

Prayer for Deliverance and Confidence in Victory

6
That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us.
7
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
8
Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver,
9
Moab is a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
10
Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
12
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
13
In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
