Psalms 108 Comparison: New Heart English Bible vs King James Version
Psalms 108
1My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
2Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
6That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
7God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
9Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia."
10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
12Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down 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.
