Psalms 108
My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
Fifth Book of the Psalms
2
Wake up, harp and lyre!I will wake up the dawn.
3
I will give thanks to you, The LORD, among the nations.I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5
Be exalted, God, above the heavens!Let your glory be over all the earth.
6
That your beloved may be delivered,save with your right hand, and answer us.
7
9
Moab is my wash pot.I will toss my sandal on Edom.I will shout over Philistia."
10
Who will bring me into the fortified city?Who has led me to Edom?
11
Haven't you rejected us, God?You don't go out, God, with our armies.
12
Give us help against the enemy,for the help of man is vain.
13
Through God, we will do valiantly.For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
Ps 108:1-13. This Psalm is composed of Ps 108:1-5 of Ps 57:7-11; and Ps 108:6-12 of Ps 60:5-12. The varieties are verbal and trivial, except that in Ps 108:9, "over Philistia will I triumph," differs from Ps 60:8, the interpretation of which it confirms. Its altogether triumphant tone may intimate that it was prepared by David, omitting the plaintive portions of the other Psalms, as commemorative of God's favor in the victories of His people.
