108 O God, my heart is ready to praise you! I will sing and rejoice before you.

² Wake up, O harp and lyre! We will meet the dawn with song. ³ I will praise you everywhere around the world, in every nation. ⁴ For your loving-kindness is great beyond measure, high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches the skies. ⁵ His glory is far more vast than the heavens. It towers above the earth. ⁶ Hear the cry of your beloved child—come with mighty power and rescue me.

⁷ God has given sacred promises; no wonder I exult! He has promised to give us all the land of Shechem and also Succoth Valley. ⁸ “Gilead is mine to give to you,” he says, “and Manasseh as well; the land of Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter. ⁹ But Moab and Edom are despised;^[a] and I will shout in triumph over the Philistines.”

¹⁰ Who but God can give me strength to conquer these fortified cities? Who else can lead me into Edom?

¹¹ Lord, have you thrown us away? Have you deserted our army? ¹² Oh, help us fight against our enemies, for men are useless allies. ¹³ But with the help of God we shall do mighty acts of valor. For he treads down our foes.
