Psalm 108 Praise and Prayer for Victory

A Song. A Psalm of David.

¹ My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make melody. Awake, my soul!

² Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn.

³ I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to you among the nations.

⁴ For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶ Give victory with your right hand, and answer me, so that those whom you love may be rescued.

⁷ God has promised in his sanctuary: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

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

⁹ Moab is my washbasin; on Edom I hurl 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 O grant us help against the foe, for human help is worthless.

¹³ With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
