Psalm 108 - 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

108 This Psalm is composed of two other Psalms before the seven and fiftieth and the sixtieth.  The matter here contained is, 1 That David giveth himself with heart and voice to praise the Lord, 7 and assureth himself of the promise of God concerning his kingdom over Israel, and his power against other nations: 11 Who though he seem to forsake us for a time, yet he alone will in the end cast down our enemies.

A song or Psalm of David.

1 O God, mine heart is [a]prepared, so is [b]my tongue: I will sing and give praise.

2 Awake viol and harp, I will awake early.

3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the [c]people, and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

5 [d]Exalt thyself, O God, above the heavens, and let thy glory be upon all the earth,

6 That thy beloved may be delivered: [e]help with thy right hand and hear me.

7 God hath spoken in his [f]holiness: therefore I will rejoice, I shall divide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead shall be mine, and Manasseh shall be mine: Ephraim also shall be the strength of mine head: Judah is my lawgiver.

9 (A)Moab shall be my washpot: over Edom will I cast out my shoe: upon Palestine will I triumph.

10 Who will lead me into the strong city? who will bring me unto Edom?

11 [g]Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst forsaken us, and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

12 Give us help against trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he shall tread down our enemies.
