A song. A melody of David.
108 My heart is steadfast, O God.+
I will sing and make melody,+
Even my glory.+
2 Do awake, O stringed instrument; you too, O harp.+
I will awaken the dawn.+
3 I shall laud you among the peoples, O Jehovah;+
And I shall make melody to you among the national groups.+
4 For your loving-kindness is great up to the heavens,+
And your trueness up to the skies.+
5 O be exalted above the heavens, O God;+
And let your glory be above all the earth.+
6 In order that your beloved ones may be rescued,+
O do save with your right hand and answer me.+
7 God himself has spoken in his holiness:+
“I will exult, I will give out Sheʹchem+ as a portion;+
And the low plain of Sucʹcoth+ I shall measure off.
8 Gilʹe·ad+ belongs to me; Ma·nasʹseh+ belongs to me;
And Eʹphra·im is the fortress of my head one;+
Judah is my commander’s staff.+
9 Moʹab+ is my washing pot.+
Over Eʹdom+ I shall throw my sandal.+
Over Phi·lisʹti·a+ I shall shout in triumph.”+
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?+
Who will actually lead me as far as Eʹdom?+
11 Is it not [you], O God, who have cast us off+
And who do not go forth with our armies as God?+
12 Do give us assistance from distress,+
As salvation by earthling man is worthless.+
13 By God we shall gain vital energy,+
And he himself will tread down our adversaries.+
