Psalm 108

1 My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed;*
I will sing and make melody.

2 Wake up, my spirit;
awake, lute and harp;*
I myself will waken the dawn.

3 I will confess you among the peoples, O LORD;*
I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4 For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens,*
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God,*
and your glory over all the earth.

6 So that those who are dear to you may be delivered,*
save with your right hand and answer me.

7 God spoke from his holy place and said,*
“I will exult and parcel out Shechem;
I will divide the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine;*
Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it,*
and over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will lead me into the strong city?*
who will bring me into Edom?

11 Have you not cast us off, O God?*
you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

12 Grant us your help against the enemy,*
for vain is the help of man.

13 With God we will do valiant deeds,*
and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
