Psalms 108
Israel's Kingdom Blessing
1My 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.
