| Chapter 108 |
1 | A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
|
2 | Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
|
3 | I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
|
4 | For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
|
5 | Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
|
6 | That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
|
7 | God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
|
8 | Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
|
9 | Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
|
10 | Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
|
11 | Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
|
12 | Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
|
13 | In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
