108:1  A Song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul!

108:2  Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!

108:3  I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations.

108:4  For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

108:5  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth!

108:6  That thy beloved may be delivered, give help by thy right hand, and answer me!

108:7  God has promised in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

108:8  Gilead is mine; Manas'seh is mine; E'phraim is my helmet; Judah my scepter.

108:9  Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."

108:10  Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

108:11  Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.

108:12  O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man!

108:13  With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
