Psalm 108

Israel’s Kingdom Blessing

(Psalms 57:1–11; Psalms 60:1–12)

A song. A Psalm of David.

¹ My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.1

² Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

³ I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

God has spoken from His sanctuary:2 “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹ Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

¹² Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

¹³ With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
