Psalms 108

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.	1 A song; a psalm of David
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.	2 My heart is steadfast, God; my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.	3 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.	4 I will praise you among the peoples, LORD; I will chant your praise among the nations.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;	5 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.	6 Appear on high over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.	7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;	8 God promised in the sanctuary: "I will exult, I will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.	9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?	10 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal; I will triumph over Philistia."
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?	11 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.	12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.	13 Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help.
	14 We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes.
