108 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.
