108:1  O GOD, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]!

108:2  Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early--I will waken the dawn!

108:3  I will praise {and} give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.

108:4  For Your mercy {and} loving-kindness are great {and} high as the heavens! Your truth {and} faithfulness reach to the skies!

108:5  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.

108:6  That Your beloved [followers] may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us! [or me]!

108:7  God has promised in His holiness [regarding the establishment of David's dynasty]: I will rejoice, I will distribute [Canaan among My people], dividing Shechem and [the western region and allotting the eastern region which contains] the Valley of Succoth.

108:8  Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My stronghold {and} the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter {and} lawgiver.

108:9  Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom [My slave] My shoe I cast [to be cleaned]; over Philistia I shout [in triumph].

108:10  Who will bring me [David] into the strong, fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me into Edom?

108:11  Have You not cast us off, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?

108:12  Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

108:13  Through {and} with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.
