Chapter 108 |
| 1 | O god, my
heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
| 2 |
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
| 3 | I will praise
thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the
nations. |
| 4
| For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth unto the clouds. |
|
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 me. |
| 7 | God hath
spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the
valley of Succoth. |
| 8 | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim
also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
| 9 | Moab is my
washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I
triumph. |
| 10
| Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me
into Edom? |
| 11
| Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not
thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
| 12 | Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man. |
|
13 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for
he it is that shall tread down our enemies. |
