Psalm 108

13 verses · BSBPsalms book hub →

1 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.

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

3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

7 God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; 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? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.

A soldier's morning stitched from two Davidic psalms (57 and 60): 'My heart is fixed, O God… I will awake the dawn.' Thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens. Then the land-grant oracle again: God hath spoken in his holiness: Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh, 'Judah is my sceptre,' Moab, Edom, Philistia. 'Who will bring me into the fortified city?… Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly.'
