Psalm 108 (BSB)

Israel’s Kingdom Blessing

1A song. A Psalm of David.

My heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing and make music with all my being.108:1 Or with my glory

2Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awaken the dawn.

3I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations;

I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens,

and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

may Your glory cover all the earth.

6Respond and save us with Your right hand,

that Your beloved may be delivered.

7God has spoken from His sanctuary:108:7 Or in His holiness

“I will triumph!

I will parcel out Shechem

and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9Moab is My washbasin;

upon Edom I toss My sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11Have You not rejected us, O God?

Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

12Give us aid against the enemy,

for the help of man is worthless.

13With God we will perform with valor,

and He will trample our enemies.
