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. |
