Psalm 108
Literal Standard Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 108 unites awakened praise with confidence amid conflict. The steadfast heart sings among nations, remembers promises over surrounding lands, rejects merely human rescue, and trusts help beyond military strength.

1A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, || I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
2Awake, stringed instrument and harp, || I awake the dawn.
3I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, || And I praise You among the nations.
4For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, || And Your truth to the clouds.
5Be exalted above the heavens, O God, || And Your glory above all the earth.
6That Your beloved ones may be delivered, || Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
7God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, || And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
8Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, || And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, || Judah [is] My lawgiver,
9Moab [is] a pot for My washing, || On Edom I cast My shoe, || Over Philistia I habitually shout.
10Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
12Give to us help from adversity, || And the salvation of man is vain.
13We do mightily in God, || And He treads down our adversaries!
