Tehillim 108
Orthodox Jewish Bible
108 (Shir. Mizmor of Dovid) O Elohim, my lev is nachon; I will sing and make music, even with my kavod (glory, soul).
2 (3) Awake, nevel and kinnor; I will awaken the shachar (dawn).
3 (4) I will praise Thee, Hashem, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
4 (5) For Thy chesed is gadol above Shomayim; and Thy emes reacheth unto the clouds.
5 (6) Be Thou exalted, Elohim, above Shomayim; and Thy kavod above kol ha’aretz;
6 (7) That Thy beloved may be delivered; hoshiah (save) with Thy Yamin, and answer me.
7 (8) Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.
8 (9) Gil‘ad is Mine; Menasheh is Mine; Ephrayim also is the maoz of Mine rosh; Yehudah is My mechokek (lawgiver);
9 (10) Moav is My washbasin; over Edom will I toss My na’al (sandal); over Philistia will I shout in triumph.
10 (11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 (12) Wilt not Thou, Elohim, Who hast cast us off? And wilt not Thou, Elohim, go forth with our Tzivos?
12 (13) Give us help against the enemy; for vain is the teshuat adam (help of man).
13 (14) Through Elohim we shall do valiantly; for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Psalm 108
New King James Version
Assurance of God’s Victory over Enemies(A)
A Song. A Psalm of David.
108 O (B)God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 (C)Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
3 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy is great above the [a]heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5 (D)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth;
6 (E)That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and [b]hear me.
7 God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice;
I will divide Shechem
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the [c]helmet for My head;
(F)Judah is My lawgiver.
9 Moab is My washpot;
Over Edom I will cast My shoe;
Over Philistia I will triumph.”
10 (G)Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?
And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble,
For the help of man is useless.
13 (H)Through God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
