| 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! --
