With God We Do Valiantly

Psalm 108

A song, a psalm of David.
My heart is steadfast, O God.
I will sing, sing praises with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre—
I will awaken the dawn!
I will give thanks to You, Adonai, among the peoples,
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your love is higher than the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
let Your glory be above all the earth.
Let Your beloved ones be delivered.
Save with Your right hand, answer me!

God has spoken in His Sanctuary:
“I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem,
    and measure out the valley of Succot.
Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine.
    Also Ephraim is a helmet for My head,
    Judah is my scepter.
10 Moab is My washbowl.
    I throw my shoe on Edom.
    I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

11 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
12 O God, have You not spurned us?
Will You go out no more with our armies?
13 Give us help against the adversary—
for useless is deliverance through man.
14 With God we will do valiantly—
and He will trample our foes.

Psalm 108[a](A)(B)

A song. A psalm of David.

My heart, O God, is steadfast;(C)
    I will sing(D) and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre!(E)
    I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love,(F) higher than the heavens;
    your faithfulness(G) reaches to the skies.(H)
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;(I)
    let your glory be over all the earth.(J)

Save us and help us with your right hand,(K)
    that those you love may be delivered.
God has spoken(L) from his sanctuary:(M)
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(N)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(O)
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet,
    Judah(P) is my scepter.
Moab(Q) is my washbasin,
    on Edom(R) I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia(S) I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(U)
13 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down(V) our enemies.
