108 1 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul!
108 2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
108 3 I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples,
I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
108 4 For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens,
thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
108 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let thy glory be over all the earth!
108 6 That thy beloved may be delivered,
give help by thy right hand, and answer me!
108 7 God has promised in his sanctuary:
"With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
108 8 Gilead is mine; Manas'seh is mine;
E'phraim is my helmet; Judah my scepter.
108 9 Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph."
108 10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
108 11 Hast thou not rejected us, O God?
Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.
108 12 O grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the help of man!
108 13 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
