| Chapter 108 |
1 | My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
|
2 | Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
|
3 | I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
|
4 | For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.
|
5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.
|
6 | That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
|
7 | God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
|
8 | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
|
9 | Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
|
10 | Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
|
11 | Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
|
12 | Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
|
13 | Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 109 For the Chief Musicion. A Psalm of David.
