Psalm 108 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

I will praise and give thanks to You, O LORD, among the people;

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;

Your truth reaches to the skies.

Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

God has spoken in His [fn]holiness:

“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],

And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense];

Judah is My [fn]scepter.

“Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];

Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]?

Who will lead me to Edom?

Have You not rejected us, O God?

And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

Give us help against the adversary,

For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].

[fn]With God we will do valiantly,

For it is He who will trample down our enemies.
