# Chapter 108
|
||
1 My heart is confident in you, O God;
|
||
no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!
|
||
2 Wake up, lyre and harp!
|
||
I will wake the dawn with my song.
|
||
3 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
|
||
I will sing your praises among the nations.
|
||
4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.
|
||
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
|
||
5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
|
||
May your glory shine over all the earth.
|
||
6 Now rescue your beloved people.
|
||
Answer and save us by your power.
|
||
7 God has promised this by his holiness:
|
||
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
|
||
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
|
||
8 Gilead is mine,
|
||
and Manasseh, too.
|
||
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
|
||
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
|
||
9 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
|
||
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
|
||
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
|
||
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
|
||
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
|
||
11 Have you rejected us, O God?
|
||
Will you no longer march with our armies?
|
||
12 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
|
||
for all human help is useless.
|
||
13 With God’s help we will do mighty things,
|
||
for he will trample down our foes. |
