Psalms 108

Israel's Kingdom Blessing
1 A Song. A Psalm of David.

 My heart is steadfast, O God!
 I will sing and make melody with all my being!
2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
 I will awake the dawn!
3 I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples;
 I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;
 your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
 Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 That your beloved ones may be delivered,
 give salvation by your right hand and answer me!

7 God has promised in his holiness:
 “With exultation I will divide up Shechem
 and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
 Ephraim is my helmet,
 Judah my scepter.
9 Moab is my washbasin;
 upon Edom I cast my shoe;
 over Philistia I shout in triumph.”


10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
 Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Have you not rejected us, O God?
 You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12 Oh grant us help against the foe,
 for vain is the salvation of man!
13 With God we shall do valiantly;
 it is he who will tread down our foes.
