Psalms 108
1A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
Psalms 108
1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
