The Book of Psalms, 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.
