Psalms 108

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 [Song Psalm Of David] My heart is ready, God, I will sing and make music; come, my glory!	1 A song; a psalm of David
2 Awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the Dawn!	2 My heart is steadfast, God; my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.
3 I wil praise you among the peoples, Yahweh, I wil play to you among nations,	3 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.
4 for your faithful love towers to heaven, and your constancy to the clouds.	4 I will praise you among the peoples, LORD; I will chant your praise among the nations.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, God. Your glory over the whole earth!	5 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.
6 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.	6 Appear on high over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Val ey ofSuccoth.	7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.
8 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,	8 God promised in the sanctuary: "I will exult, I will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal, over Philistia I cry victory.'	9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.
10 Who will lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide me into Edom,	10 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal; I will triumph over Philistia."
11 if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.	11 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
12 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human assistance is worthless.	12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?
13 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample 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.
