Psalm 108 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

A Plea for Victory

A song. A psalm of David.

Psa 108:1

My heart is confident, God;

I will sing; I will sing praises

with the whole of my being.[fn]

Psa 108:2

Wake up, harp and lyre!

I will wake up the dawn.

Psa 108:3

I will praise you, LORD, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

Psa 108:4

For your faithful love is higher than the heavens,

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Psa 108:5

God, be exalted above the heavens,

and let your glory be over the whole earth.

Psa 108:6

Save with your right hand and answer me

so that those you love may be rescued.

Psa 108:7

God has spoken in his sanctuary:[fn]

“I will celebrate!

I will divide up Shechem.

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

Psa 108:8

“Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine,

and Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.

Psa 108:9

“Moab is my washbasin;

I throw my sandal on Edom.

I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Psa 108:10

Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

Psa 108:11

God, haven’t you rejected us?

God, you do not march out with our armies.

Psa 108:12

Give us aid against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

Psa 108:13

With God we will perform valiantly;

he will trample our foes.
