1 O GOD, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

1A song or Psalme of Dauid. O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing & giue praise, euen with my glory.

2Awake psaltery and harpe: I my selfe will awake early.

3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I wil sing praises vnto thee among the nations.

4For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens: and thy trueth reacheth vnto the clouds.

5Be thou exalted, O God, aboue the heauens: and thy glory aboue all the earth:

6That thy beloued may bee deliuered: saue with thy right hand, and answere me.

7God hath spoken in his holinesse, I wil reioyce, I will diuide Shechem: and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, Ephraim also is the strength of mine head: Iudah is my Lawgiuer.

9Moab is my wash pot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shooe: ouer Philistia will I triumph.

10Who wil bring me into the strong citie? who will leade me into Edom?

11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast vs off? and wilt not thou, O God, goe foorth with our hostes?

12Giue vs helpe from trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

13Through God wee shall doe valiantly: for hee it is that shall tread downe our enemies.

1 A song; a psalm of David.

2 My heart is steadfast, God; my heart is steadfast. Let me sing and chant praise.

3 Awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.

4 I will praise you among the peoples, LORD; I will chant your praise among the nations.

5 For your mercy is greater than the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.

6 Appear on high over the heavens, God; your glory above all the earth.

7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.

8 God speaks in his holiness:“I will exult, I will apportion Shechem;

the valley of Succoth I will measure out.

9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head,

Judah, my scepter.

10 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

11 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?

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.

PSALM 108 COULD BE ONE OF DAVID'S BATTLE SONGS.

V 1-6 David sang this song of steadfast praise for the Lord’s faithfulness, expressing desire for continued deliverance.

 

 

 

 

 

V 7-13 David expresses confidence in victory over his enemies. Symbolism in v 9 is interesting. Slaves wash one’s feet, but Moab would become like the wash pot itself. Edom would be merely the floor on which he tossed his dirty sandals.
