Psalms 108
The psalmist expresses their devotion to God, vowing to sing and praise Him among the nations, acknowledging God's great love and faithfulness. God is proclaimed as the ruler of various territories, including Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, and Judah. The psalmist then asks God for aid against their enemies, recognizing that human help is worthless, and expresses confidence in God's ability to grant them victory.
1My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.2Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.3I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.4For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.6Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.7God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.8Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.9Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."10Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?11Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?12Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.13With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
