108:1 A song of David. My heart is committed, O God: I will sing; I will sing praises with great affection and pledge my whole soul to the singing.
108:2 Wake up the harp and lyre, and strum the strings; I will stir the sleepy dawn from slumber!
108:3 I will stand and offer You my thanks, Eternal One, in the presence of others; I will sing of Your greatness among the nations no matter where I am.
108:4 For Your amazing love soars overhead far into the heavens; Your truth rises up to the clouds where passing light bends.
108:5 O God, that You would be lifted up above the heavens in the hearts of Your people until the whole earth knows Your glory.
108:6 Reach down and rescue those whom You love; pull us to safety by Your mighty right hand, and answer me.
108:7 God’s voice has been heard in His holy sanctuary: “I will celebrate. I will allocate Shechem and the Succoth Valley to My people.
108:8 Gilead belongs to Me, and so does Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet that protects My head; Judah is the scepter through which I rule;
108:9 Moab is the washpot in which I clean Myself; I will throw My shoe over Edom in conquest; Philistia will soon hear My victory shout.”
108:10 But who will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
108:11 Have You not turned Your back on us, O God? Will You stay away and not accompany our armies, O God?
108:12 Help us against our enemy; we need Your help! It’s useless to trust in the hand of man for liberation.
108:13 Only through God can we be successful. It is God alone who will defeat our enemies and bring us victory!
